usplash 0.5.34 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

usplash (0.5.34) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Martin Pitt ]
  * Add support for fading in/out the logo:
    - libusplash.h, libusplash.c: Add new function fade_logo(on, steps) which
      fades the logo in/out.
    - libusplash.c, usplash_setup(): Do not set the palette here already.
    - usplash.c: Fade logo in at startup (0.5 seconds), and out at QUIT (0.2
      seconds).
  * Reverse the fade times at shutdown:
    - usplash.c: Add new option -d for shutdown, and call fade_logo() with
      swapped steps if it is given.
    - usplash_down: Call usplash with -d.
    - usplash.8: Document -d.
  * debian/shlibs.local: Bump for new API.

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * usplash_down, initramfs/scripts/init-top/usplash: Set xres/yres from the
    fb or KMS virtual_size if available as read from /sys, overriding
    usplash.conf values.  It's ugly to rely on /sys, but there was already a
    check for /sys to detect KMS and some code in initramfs-tools to generate
    an usplash.conf from /sys on mxcfb fbs.  This merges the kuldges in a
    single place and causes usplash to actually use the current and probably
    highest resolution on KMS and fb devices, while the default was to set the
    resolution to the first theme's size (640x400 with the Ubuntu theme).
    Proper fix is to make usplash use the current resolution instead but will
    take more time.
  * usplash_down, initramfs/scripts/init-top/usplash: Stop sourcing
    etc/usplash.conf since usplash_setup() does this by default when xres and
    yres aren't set on the command line anyway.
  * Flip dh_installdeb and dh_makeshlibs call in rules to actually get
    proper ldconfig call in the .postinst as lintian expects.
  * Add #DEBHELPER# to preinst.
