After you have done "apt-get source usplash" you will have 3 new things in
your current directory. Two files: usplash_0.1-27.dsc usplash_0.1-27.tar.gz
and a directory: usplash-0.1/
Go into the usplash-0.1 directory and you want to edit the file
usplash-artwork.png to your heart's content.
After that you'll likely want to test the package. If you gotta do it
yourself, install the "dpkg-dev" package if you dont have it already and do
"sudo apt-get build-dep usplash".
My process for quick-building goes something like:
1. make your changes to usplash-artwork.png but keep the same filename
2. run "dch -i" from inside usplash-0.1/ and write a quick change line
3. run "dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b" to build the package
4. run "sudo dpkg -i ../usplash_0.1-28_i386.deb
You could poke your head into #ubuntu-motu on IRC if you have
problems/questions about the packaging aspect of it, but the manpages are
pretty straightforward.
