Package: usplash
Version: 0.5.2-3
Severity: normal

When I booted today, usplash timed out at some point in the boot, and I
was switched back to vt1. All that vt1 had was some messages from
initramfs-tools from very early in the boot. I found the later boot
messages on vt8.

     exit:
       /* While usplash is running, /dev/console is actually tty8
        * so if we flip back to where we came from, we actually hide the
        * very messages we're trying to show the user!
        *
        * The case of usplash terminating normally is already handled
        * in the init script with an explicit chvt.
        */

Seems that this comment is right sometimes after all. 

Since #387640 is about the opposite result, something weird must be going on.
