Ah yes. Herbert had quite strong views on what should and shouldn't be done
in the kernel, despite the fact that things existed in the kernel here and
now, and to implement the equivalent in userspace would require someone to
actually develop something...

I thought the bootsplash stuff was a combination of kernelspace and
userspace anyway?

I personally think having the kernel hooks to support the init.d stuff would
be good. It should then be trivial to have Debian boot with a bootsplash,
which is mainly cosmetic wank, but nice, nonetheless.
