I'm glad you open a bug for this.

We had the package originally setup to conflict with a virtual package so
that both usplash and splashy (plus any other) can conflict with e/a other.

As of this moment, the svn repository reads:

Conflicts: debsplash-utils, bootsplash, usplash

I guess this will be closed soon. A virtual package and "provides" is a
better solution, of course. But...
