This API looks quite good, and I suspect it will handle most needs.
We might need some splash_start_if_not_running() or similar, for the
cases where it need to be restarted.

Also, this function need to have more features:

> # Tells the splash the current boot progress in percent (as $1)
> splash_progress () { return 0; }

In usplash, the progress bar can go both ways, depending on the sign
of the progress value.  It is used during shutdown.  We probably want
to support it in the API.

Also, to stay compatible with the current behaviour, I suspect the
default functions should implement usplash support until usplash
includes the override file in the package.

Friendly,
