Bug#298240: grub: Include DebBlue splash screen

[Jason Thomas]

Because the splashimages may not work for everyone and could leave them
with an unbootable system. But, most things you do to the boot
sector/record could leave your system in an unbootable state.

So, If you think that the splashimage code is reliable enough go for it.

Have we fixed it yet so that it will not just load random data from the
drive, if its pointed at a non-existant file?
