Sorry for the delay, I forgot to subscribe the bug...

udev is still screwed up. (Moreover, update-initramfs is going crazy,
with a lot of errors about dpkg wrong options and building initrd for
non-installed kernels! I can't understand...).

GDM starts now, but Splashy crashes ('killed by xxxx'). Further tests
needed.

Removing libdirectfb-0.9.25-x and leaving libdirectfb-1.0.x only splash
screen appears, but with the black blocks reported by Georg Wittenburg.
Anyway screen glitches during fade-in fade-out and.

I removed splashy packages, for now, I will retry later, restarting from
scratch... Holidays are for me too!
Happy new year!
