Hi, sorry for the long delay. I think I've found a solution to the problem: the latest versions of initramfs-tools offer support for custom hooks in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/ which are run at every update-initramfs run, which we could invoke in the postinst script. I've already committed a working hook script: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/demudi/bootsplash/trunk/debian/patches/initramfs.dpatch?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 but the package still needs to be polished. Right now I'm building the latest 2.6.16-7 source with the bootsplash patch applied, and in the next days I'm going to carefully test the package. All keep you all informed..
