Comment 26 for bug 434361

This bug was fixed in the package usplash - 0.5.39

---------------
usplash (0.5.39) karmic; urgency=low

  * Convert usplash to Upstart jobs, so that we handle VT switching on
    startup/shutdown properly again (LP: #434361). This makes use of a new
    'starting-dm' event emitted by display manager jobs, so declare Breaks
    on gdm and kdm versions that don't do this.
  * Add -t option to set the initial timeout without having to wait for the
    fifo to appear. (Upstart jobs don't tend to talk to usplash at the
    moment, so we need a longer timeout to start with in the initramfs,
    until we get as far as running init scripts.)
  * Add --ignore-sigterm option as a temporary hack to make it easier to use
    Upstart's built-in process-killing code.
