Well, I closed the RC bug about uswsusp, because I failed to reproduce
it on any machine I had, and the reported said the same.

Well, I agree that it should fail if it can't install theme. But in your
case, /etc/splashy is *not* reliable. It can't know if it's a link or a
folder. In your case, if you want to remove /etc/splashy, you should
directly use /usr/share/splasy/config.xml. And you should have moved
conffile from /etc/splashy to /usr/share/splashy and let the folder.
