Based on what you wrote below it doesn't work out of the box.
The only modification that needs to be done, is that "splash vga=NNN"
needs to be added to the kernel parameter. Since there are many ways
to get that done, we simply don't assume that users have
Grub/Lilo/Quik or any bootloader in particular, installed.
It makes sense but if the desktop user needs to edit the boot loader
configuration to enable splashy, i think he can install it through
synaptic. It won't make a huge different add it in the task or not as
it is.
Otavio is a member of the team. He is in charge of the debian package
mostly, but he also helps with code from time to time. Otavio wants
Splashy to work from initramfs before it goes into Etch. And he simply
thinks that usplash is too limited.
We are getting closer to having Splashy from initrams ready for
prime-time. The problem seems to be with directfb (itself).
Sounds great.
