[karmic] Usplash doesn't displays on boot or shutdown, leading to display boot messages

Binary package hint: usplash

Tested on 3 different computers today and a week ago on some 2 more, Usplash doesn't display on boot or shutdown, leading to display some text messages which are some way less attractive for a boot experience. It should display on start of shutdown, if no problem occurs during these stages.

Sorry, maybe a dupe, looks like bug #441651 without the error message isn't it ?
