I don't think virtual/psplash is the way to go, but I don't have a 
better suggestion.

Unfortunately this will end up with people spreading FUD like "can't 
change psplash logo in angstrom" just because they see that line in 
angstrom.conf.
But then again, people are still claiming angstrom is bloated and 
minimal isn't when minimal is currently angstrom.conf with sed 
s/angstrom/minimal/ applied to it...
