Hallo,
Currently I'm maintaining splashy and fbsplash. Some time ago there was a discussion of integration of the splash hooks in the initscripts in [core]. Is there something planed? It would reduce problems for some less experienced users.
Actually, anyone can do it and you don't even need to overwrite the initscripts package. The initscripts in testing will load functions from /etc/rc.d/functions.d/*. Due to the way shell scripts work, if I redefine a function, it overwrites it. This way, one can simply create a functions.d/ file that overrides the standard stat_* functions to call splash related functions. No need to additions to the initscripts package, it's all there for ya.
