Bug Description
In Dapper, usplash showed a relatively accurate and easy-to-read progress bar during boot, and printed textual progress messages under that in a good-contrast font and color. In Edgy, with the default boot options there is no progress display at all. If I take "quiet" off the kernel command line, then there is a hard-to-see progress bar and some textual progress messages in a tiny tiny box in dark blue on black, but there's a huge spew of kernel messages before usplash gets started and some of the last few boot messages (before gdm starts) appear on a text console.
Ideal behavior IMO would be a progress bar and a small number of friendly text progress messages in "quiet" mode, and eeeverything going to the text box in non-"quiet" but still "splash" mode. Also, the progress bar and text messages should be in an easier-to-see color and the text box should be a LOT bigger.

malone seems to have a bad habit of ignoring what i type in the package field in favor of the package i reported the previous bug on. grr. (insert rant about how debbugs is just so much nicer here.)
