There is only 2 places where this text can come from /dev/tty1 or
tty2. Splashy runs on tty8 by default, and X runs on tty7 by default.

If you want to kill or the temporary text, see
/etc/lsb-base-logging.sh where we clear the tty (clear > foo) and do
the same for the other tty's for which you don't want to see any text.

Hope that helps.
