There is a reason why splashy and splashy-themes both install fonts
under /etc. The reason is that Splashy starts early at boot before
/usr is mounted. We cannot use fonts from /usr (or any other file for
that matter). /etc is the only location that is guarantied to exists
during early boot.
Recall that Splashy starts at rcS.d/S01splashy or initramfs. Way too
early for /usr to be mounted (on systems that keep /usr on a separate
partition).
Sorry, but we will have to live with this bug.

splashy and splashy-themes install `FreeSans.ttf' which is already
available in the ttf-freefont package. Please use that version instead.
