1. Is there are resolution which works well for everybody? 2. Why does one not have to add vga= to Ubuntu's grub line? Ubuntu is using usplash AFAIK, and this seems like a compelling argument to maybe evaluate it again? Or are they just overriding things in their kernel? > Splashy works flawlessly.

I don't think that is a big problem, giving how the boot process looked until now. It might be nice to address this for etch+1, though.
