I also got the problem and I didn't touch to any of those files. So you
should be able to duplicate easily by installing gdm and splashy in the
same chroot/virtual machine.

Here's the output of "sh -x /etc/init.d/gdm" when I had the problem.
Removing the package was not enough to solve the problem, I had to purge
it so it proves that the propblem comes from /etc/lsb-base-logging.sh.
