Syslinux background image tiling

[Philip Newborough <corenominal@corenominal.org>]

Hello

I am not sure if this has already been mentioned, I have searched the
list archive but I could not find anything relative, so here goes...

There has been a change to Syslinux 3.85 (now in squeeze & sid) with
regards to way it handles background images:

> vesamenu.c32: if the image is smaller than the screen, tile it across the whole screen.

This seems to affect the default Debian splash image found at
'live-helper/templates/syslinux/menu/splash.png', which now tiles
vertically and looks, erm, wrong. The Debian splash.png is sized at
640X320px. I am not entirely sure about this, but I think changing it
to 640x480px should fix the issue?
