I run Debian/Testing with framebuffer support and I get two penguins (on
my dual-processor system) that disappear after the boot process is
completed.

The configurations for vesafb are mostly resolution-related options.  As
I mentioned, the boot logo is hard-coded into the kernel.  I wonder what
Debian is doing in Sid to give you those other graphics.  Strange.
