Package: usplash
Version: 0.5.2-1
Tags: patch
Severity: important
Justification: user ends up with a black screen
Hello,
usplash can be started by an initramfs hook.
(or somethingelse in the initrd)
That results in no 'splash' string in /proc/commandline,
but /etc/init.d/usplash does check for that string.
The effect is that usplash_quit() has no effect.
Which gives the user a black screen.
My advice is to not check for kernel commandline options.
