Public bug reported:
Add an Ubuntu splash logo to supplement the BGRT logo.
Since we now keep the BIOS logo (ACPI BGRT image) on screen and don't
replace it with a blank purple screen, it lasts much longer in 20.04
than it did in 19.10. This removes some sense of boot progress in that
long period while we wait for the kernel to start plymouth.
I suggest we need grub to display *something* once again. Because it's
the longest part of the boot process on many machines and it feels a bit
broken in 20.04 seeing nothing but the BIOS logo for most of it. But
since we're using the Plymouth 'bgrt' theme, grub would need to
understand and integrate with the BIOS logo.
