I think I don't have to point out the downsides of static package linkage. Please make it optional; not every user has separate /usr.

Feel free to commit if splash stuff still works for you

Any use case where splash utils can be used with dynamic linking?
Do not forget this package is supposed to be used at initrd stage.
