When you install Splashy from a debian package, it will automatically
do everything it needs to be included in initrd.img the next time you
run: update-initramfs -u

If you are not using initrd, then this does not apply to you.
initramfs is just another format for initrd. One that uses a
compress-RAM format to run from a RAM disk without really
uncompressing first (check cramfs and others on wikipedia).

Then in that case, there is nothing wrong in having Splashy startup
from /etc/rcS.d/S*splashy. If Splashy interferes with udev or any
other script, simply move the symbolic link so that Splashy starts
after this service. Use ls to sort the files so you can see the order
that the scripts are executed.

cd /etc/rcS.d/
ls S*
S02splashy ??
S03udev

Then you must rename S02splashy to S04splashy or something like that.

The later Splashy starts, the more risk of seeing text during boot
that you will have. If this does not bother you, then go for it.
