I have also been playing around with splashy - Last time I tried I got
similar result to you. Though - this was with the unstable package on
an etch, so I didn't put very much effort into it.
The page at http://packages.qa.debian.org/s/splashy.html reports that
splashy isn't in testing at the moment though, and got 5 bugs that has
to be removed to enter. So I don't know if it will enter etch (any
developer who can fill us in?) or we should look for alternatives to
get a bootsplash?
