22 I'm not against dropping splashutils, but is there an alternative to
23 creating or managing framebuffer-splash in the tree? fbsplash doesn't
24 seem to be there (tho i don't know if that's the same upstream package
25 or not)
26
27 Note that this package is a DEPEND or RDEPEND for all of the
28 splash-themes packages too, so they'll also need to be lastrite'd if
29 we don't have an alternative utility.
