Thats grub-splashimages, not bootsplash.
Anyway, I've got bootsplash working. I installed bootsplash, bootsplash-
themes-debian, linux-patch-bootsplash and had to build a new kernel using
the bootsplash patch.
Install the full kernel sources, copy /boot/config* to /usr/src/linux-
source*/.config then
"make-kpkg --version=custom1 --added-patches=bootsplash kernel-image"
(but there's a bit more to kernel-building than that)
