Originally it was going to replace usplash (being the equivalent of xsplash), but it seems that ksplash was never able to start up in time, so usplash was used for 95% of the boot time anyways. Never was able to convince Riddell to get rid of it. It was the only flaw in an otherwise impressive boot experience, imo. At any rate, the patch will be removed in 10.04 because we're using Plymouth now.
