I'm not against dropping splashutils, but is there an alternative to
creating or managing framebuffer-splash in the tree?  fbsplash doesn't
seem to be there (tho i don't know if that's the same upstream package
or not)

Note that this package is a DEPEND or RDEPEND for all of the
splash-themes packages too, so they'll also need to be lastrite'd if
we don't have an alternative utility.
