 This is supposed to be handled by grub-installer, which is part of d-i.

I do want to note that the grub packaging appears to have default
command line handling for different distributions, and adding splash
there would have the benefit(?) of everybody getting it, regardless
how the system was installed (d-i, (grml-)debootstrap, etc.)

Hm, right, I guess that is grub2's responsibility.  Sorry for my
misunderstanding.

In principle this makes sense; I'm just a bit nervous about this at this
point, and changing this will cause a ucf prompt for large numbers of
people, so I want to get it right first time.  CCing debian-devel; does
anyone know of reasons why adding splash to the default command line
would be a bad thing?
