Probably I misunderstod the problem at the time. Anyway, what I observe
now is that on systems (like Ubuntu) which mount /var/run at boot time
on tmpfs, the /var/run/linuxlogo directory does not exist at boot, and
consequently /etc/issue.linuxlogo is a dangling symlink and the linux
logo is not shown on the console login screen.
This patch partially solves the problem:
*** /etc/init.d/linuxlogo~ 2006-11-24 12:04:50.000000000 +0100
--- /etc/init.d/linuxlogo 2007-05-29 11:35:46.000000000 +0200

for F in /etc/issue.linuxlogo /etc/issue.linuxlogo.ascii
however, it does so only after one has logged in and out, because the
first getty for each terminal is called when the /etc/issue.linuxlogo
file is still a dangling symlink. I think the easiest way out is to get
rid of symlinks and just create the files under /etc. This would only
require a change in the install/remove scripts.
