Hi Steve, sorry for my late reply (I was at a sprint). I agree with your
conclusions but I'd like to partially revert your changes.

You removed a feature which allowed packagers to blacklist single card
ids to prevent them from using the boot splash in case of nasty
interactions with the NVIDIA driver.

While the result is the same (i.e. the framebuffer is on by default), I
restored the feature by putting back the relevant slave link which would
simply point to a blacklist file that only shows how to disable nvidia
cards (it's all commented out).
