* Historically, Ubuntu's default behaviour in the absence of command-line
arguments to the installer has been to pass 'splash' to the installed
system so that it gets a splash screen (and similarly 'quiet'). There's
some argument that this behaviour should require passing 'splash' to the
installer as well, but it's too late in the Lucid cycle for this change.
Nevertheless, we need a way to configure images such that they don't get
'splash' in the installed system, so introduce a 'nosplash' argument
which inhibits this, for use by the server CD (LP: #548954).
