The same way usplash has become obsolete (#603728), splashy has been removed
from Squeeze (#599245).
Today, users must remove/purge by themselves the splashy package prior to
upgrade, or they will get issues related to KMS or #512951 (but it may be
fixed through s-p-u).
Indeed, today no package conflits with splashy.
I wonder what is the status of usplash with respect to upgrade, Holger would
you know ?
