AFAIK has that be done in the kernel-wedge package.

I hope that the message prevents users seeing a black screen for
some undefined time.

My proposal for the message is:

Running kernel init scripts for the installation program...



That has two improvement: 
- it says what is really going on
- it doesn't need rebranding
