"fake"?

The correct fix is to purge usplash and all other such broken hacks from
hell from the system.

I don't know what to do about this bug, I have this hunch we need to add
something to the initscripts or sysv-rc package in the next stable release
to make sure usplash is _gone_, but since you actually have to purge usplash
to make sure it can do no damage (so as to get rid of the conffiles), it
might not be enough.  This might require testing.

Erez, could we impose on you to remove the usplash package (not purge, just
remove) and check if the problem disappears (please revert your workaround
first)?

It is also probably a good idea for you to use aptitude to locate all "local
packages", i.e. those which are not in the Squeeze package lists, and try to
get rid of any cruft there that is not of vital importance to you.
