  Description     : Set of utilities to manage boot splash-screen

 This set provides useful tools to manage the boot splash-screen.
 Needs a kernel patched with kernel-patch-bootsplash.

 splash is used to convert a theme to a format suitable to be attached 
 to an initrd for the kernel to load the theme, or to change the picture 
 displayed on the console while the system is running.

 fbresolution shows the current used resolution on framebuffer console.

 progress is used to draw a progress box on the framebuffer console.

I will also add scripts and READMEs to have a nice result on a Debian 
system.
