I can say you more. First version of upower/usplash/splashy (the one
that i relased alone in c++ code) was installed with:

apt-get install usplash (yep i called it first usplash, but it had the
same code of splashy in c++)

and the postinst script recognized the correct vga=xxx value
from /etc/X11/xorg.conf and added it to menu.lst.

This until we discovered that changing a configuration file of another
package in "illegal".

Btw the code is still there in the debian/postinst script, it's
commented.

But things seems to change: if we provide support for vga16fb (like
usplash does) we can have a 16 colour splashy without touching the vga
value (it's not needed anymore)... I think that i'll talk about this in
the next meeting :D
