I don't really know.  I suspect it was a mistake, but when I went
looking, I didn't see a bug open on it, just some forum comments
on the problem.  And, in messing around, saw that a new package
had been added - grub-splashes.  Figured that was the best way
to avoid a future issue with the splash file going missing.
