Umm....

There is an RC bug open for Splashy that's really related to uswsusp.
Tim (maintainer of uswsusp and member of the Splashy theme) is working
to fix this issue. I'll follow up with him on this.

I saw your NMU about the other bug. Let me try to straight that out
today and ask the debian maintainers to upload a fix.

Now, about splashy_config breaking when /etc/splashy/config.xml does not
exist, this is the right thing to do because without that
file /sbin/splashy won't work anyway. Why would somebody remove this
file from /etc/splashy? Let's see what we can do about this one.
