I've got this error during upgrade of initramfs-tools
-_-_-
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-1-686
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/bootsplash: 51: splash: not found
_-_-_

The script sets the variable SPLASH_BIN on line #18
SPLASH_BIN=/usr/sbin/splash
and on line #51 it calls 'splash' directly:
splash -s -f $SPLASH_FILE > $DESTDIR/bootsplash
for some reason (I don't know if this is pathologic or not) /usr/sbin does not 
apear to be in the path the shell executing the script is in, so the command 
fails
My root PATH is /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
instead of calling 'path' i think the script should call $SPLASH_BIN and 
therefore /usr/sbin/splash which would prevent (my) PATH issue and the call of 
an unwanted alternative splash elsewhere in the path

Here's my modest patch:
51c51
< splash -s -f $SPLASH_FILE > $DESTDIR/bootsplash
---
> $SPLASH_BIN -s -f $SPLASH_FILE > $DESTDIR/bootsplash
