Comment 6 for bug 163793

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.11

---------------
usplash (0.5.11) hardy; urgency=low

  * libusplash.c, usplash_timeout_get_string(): Fix wrong and confusing
    indentation.
  * usplash.c: Fix argument parsing for INPUTTIMEOUT (off-by-one error, and
    wrong string length).
  * libusplash.c, usplash_timeout_get_string(): If no char was entered during
    timeout, return an empty string instead of poking a 0 into random memory
    and returning a random string.
  * libusplash.c, handle_timeout_input(): Always output the string to the
    output FIFO, even if input timed out and the string is empty. Otherwise
    the usplash client cannot know whether it should starve and die waiting
    for the reading FIFO or not listen to it and let usplash starve and die
    for writing the FIFO.
  * libusplash.c: Interpret INPUTTIMEOUT value as deciseconds instead of
    seconds. This makes it much more useful for polling for input while doing
    something in the background.
  * usplash_write.8: Add documentation for INPUTTIMEOUT.
  * libusplash.c, usplash_timeout_get_string(): Handle backspace properly.
    (LP: #163793)
