Are you using AMD64? I think the only recent change in initramfs-tools
that would affect usplash is the vga16fb loading change you commited?

Yes, that's not related to the theme though, that is how usplash works
these days (that is, with the quiet boot arg, it will instruct the theme
not to even draw the text box). What is cool though is that even if you
use the quiet boot arg, important things like asking for a passphrase
during bootup (for encrypted root) will create the text box when
necessary.

That's not a bug, its a feature :) The test script does not chvt back to
the original vt once its done so you're left on vt8. It's been like this
as far as I can remember so I think its intentional.

Great, and once you do, feel free to add it as a git repo to
git.debian.org and give me commit access then all of us can use that repo
as the main one instead of my home-grown git repo.
