I second this. The current usplash is neither fish nor fowl.

a) Either I am a poweruser and will disable usplash completely, 
"visualizing" the boot/shutdown process on a high resolution console. 
This is what I am using with Breezy.

b) Or I am a normal user who is not interested in the details of booting 
up/shutting down at all, only that there is something in progress 
(that's what the progress bar is for).

I would be glad if Ubuntu would officially support both cases; currently 
only b is supported.

Regards,

Andreas
