20 I don't really know. I suspect it was a mistake, but when I went
21 looking, I didn't see a bug open on it, just some forum comments
22 on the problem. And, in messing around, saw that a new package
23 had been added - grub-splashes. Figured that was the best way
24 to avoid a future issue with the splash file going missing.
