Hm, right, I guess that is grub2's responsibility. Sorry for my
misunderstanding.
In principle this makes sense; I'm just a bit nervous about this at this
point, and changing this will cause a ucf prompt for large numbers of
people, so I want to get it right first time. CCing debian-devel; does
anyone know of reasons why adding "splash" to the default command line
would be a bad thing?
