But we are talking about the boot splash, not the desktop here I
thought.
My point is that a resolution of 800x600 and 16 colors should be good
enough for a Debian splash screen, if that saves us from having to
configure vga= in the kernel command line. (Other people/distributions
might prefer higher resolutions/colors fo course)

Right, so see above.

Sure. I was just talking about that "outputs some non-bootsplashed
stuff sometimes", which might be annoying, but is no show-stopper IMHO.
