The way that usplash uses to do its job is the worst that i've seen.
Usplash is designed for ubuntu, so they changed /etc/init.d/rc
and /etc/init.d/rc and added this simple function:

#
# Stub to do progress bar ticks (currently just for usplash) on startup
#
startup_progress() {
    $@
    step=$(($step + $step_change))
    progress=$(($step * $progress_size / $num_steps + $first_step))
    if type usplash_write >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        usplash_write "PROGRESS $progress" || true
    fi
}

Than it's called by the startup function

#
# Start script or program.
#
startup() {
    action=$1
    shift
    scripts="$@"
    case "$CONCURRENCY" in
        none)
            for script in $scripts ; do
                case "$script" in
                  *.sh)
                      startup_progress $debug sh "$script" $action
                      ;;
                  *)
                      startup_progress $debug "$script" $action
                      ;;
                esac
            done
            ;;
        startpar)
            # startpar is not working as it should yet [pere 2005-09-10]
            startup_progress $debug startpar -a $action $scripts
            ;;
        shell)
            for script in $scripts ; do
                startup_progress $debug $script $action &
            done
            wait
            ;;
    esac
}

Splashy has a better design :D
