Package: linuxlogo Version: 5.10-1 Severity: wishlist I've written a tiny shell script to install or uninstall the appropriate magic in /etc/inittab to make the linux logo appear in login prompts. This is easier and more reliable than requiring users to be able to read and follow the directions in /usr/share/doc/linuxlogo/README.Debian. My suggestion is to include this script, or something like it, in /usr/lib/linuxlogo/install_linux_logo, and to either point to it from the README, or perhaps cause it to be invoked during package installation and de-installation when some low-priority default-off debconf configuration option is turned on.
