usplash is missing a conflicts with usplash. As a result you can install
both which will obviously lead to clashes.

Maybe it would make sense to add a virtual package "bootsplash-system"
(better name appreciated) and each splash package in Debian
(bootsplash/usplash/splashy) should add a Conflicts/Provides:
bootsplash-system.

Would imo be the cleanest solution.

If you agree, feel free to clone the bug for usplash and bootsplash.



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...
