Package: linuxlogo
Version: 5.10-1
Severity: wishlist
I've written a tiny shell script to install or uninstall the appropriate
magic in /etc/inittab to make the linux logo appear in login prompts.
This is easier and more reliable than requiring users to be able to read
and follow the directions in /usr/share/doc/linuxlogo/README.Debian. My
suggestion is to include this script, or something like it, in
/usr/lib/linuxlogo/install_linux_logo, and to either point to it from
the README, or perhaps cause it to be invoked during package
installation and de-installation when some low-priority default-off
debconf configuration option is turned on.
