This is, I think, a misunderstanding.  Kim says "Sugar is supposed to
include a fedora logo (they will provide), on the home screen and in the
boot up text."  If you look at the "Visibility Guidelines" document
included in the bug, it contains two images, one of which shows the Fedora
logo next to the bootup text, and one of which shows the Fedora logo next
to the XO man in the ring.  I suspect Kim's statement is based on these
two images.

I think Kim interpreted this to be the bootup screen and the home screen,
but from my reading of the text, both images are meant to refer to the
pre-X bootup sequence.  One is text-mode boot, and the other is pretty
boot. This is consistent with what I've understood from conversations with
Greg and others: Fedora's branding will appear only during the boot
sequence, which is not part of Glucose at all.

In other words: don't worry about it.  This has nothing to do with you.

I could be wrong, of course, in which case I think we should simply let
distributions patch as they please.  It seems awfully silly for the Debian
packages to be Fedora-branded.
