 AFAIK has that be done in the kernel-wedge package.

As Frans says, this is nonsense. kernel-wedge can't do anything like
that.

 My proposal for the message is:
 
 Running kernel init scripts for the installation program...

What is a kernel init script? (Hint: that's pretty meaningless!)

I hope that the message prevents users seeing a black screen for
some undefined time.

That has two improvement: 
- it says what is really going on
- it doesn't need rebranding
