> * I didn't see usplash during boot (no bug filed)
I uploaded a fixed usplash-theme-ubuntu yesterday, which was the cause
of the "no usable theme found" problem. usplash is still terminally
broken for me when I try to boot with it on 2.6.26-4, I only get
red-white stripes. It works fine if I boot on 2.6.24-20, or start it
out of the running system on 2.6.26-4, so I guess it's either a kernel
bug or something is missing in the initramfs.
I already tried all possible combinations of blacklisting uvesafb and
installing v86d. The boot with usplash just gets differently broken
with every combination :(

casper still tries to enable the gconf keys, but we now use the
/etc/default/apport file for disabling (since that won't waste a lot
of resources on crashes in stable releases). I'll fix this, as soon as
"bzr get lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/casper/trunk" likes me again (it
currently crashes with a "Corrupt Knit error blabla some ancient GNU
arch revision; figuring out with the #bzr guys).
Also, I fixed the apport retracers last night, so I'll reenable apport
by default right after Alpha-3.
