That's the theory, but maybe there's an edgy bug here. Apt-get did tell me
after listing two screens of affected packages that it planned to make an
additional 2761kB of space available, which is not what one expects from
mere meta package removal.

ATM, I'm booting from a different grub elsewhere on disk directly to the
Ubuntu kernel with only my choice of kernel parameters, and getting no
splash. But, it was a test install with a borrowed HD, and I'll want to see
no splash when using the Ubuntu grub on the next install to the non-borrowed HD.
