Indeed. Just adding an other option to lrcfg (to call svi with the right init.d 
file) is also a difficult option. You can't predict what the exact name of the 
script is and you don't even know if the package even contain a daemon or init 
script.
The webconf package has such an option and some code to find the correct init 
script. Maybe it can be borrowed from there.

Me too ;-) But I can imagine that for initial setup it can be handy, although 
setting up ssh (dropbear) is the first thing I do.

The 'vga' kernel option isn't available in the Bering(-uClibc) kernels anymore, 
both because of size and there isn't a real need if one is using ssh. So the 
'issue' is mainly cosmetical.
