Hi, you can override the file with

cd /var/cache/apt/archives
sudo dpkg --force-overwrite --install splashy_0.3.13-3ubuntu1_i386.deb
then

check dis 1... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splashy
its a splash screen handler...in default jaunty config we see the ubuntu splash screen...but using splashy we can change those splash themes...jaunty has issues with usplash...
splashy is a better replacement...along with startup manager...:)
