Please allow usplash version 0.5.19-3 to propagate into Lenny. It
solve a bug in the progress bar API used by initscripts and sysv-rc to
stop the splash screen process. This increase the chance of avoiding
leaving the screen in a messed up state, as usplash get a chance to
exit in a controlled fashion instead of getting a forceful kill.
When used with the new sysv-rc (version 2.86.ds1-61) destined for
Lenny in 7 days, usplash should work properly with both xdm, kdm and
gdm, because sysv-rc now make sure to call splash_stop() before
calling their init.d script during boot.
This is the patch relative to the version currently in Lenny.
