Additional information

Before the update deploying pbsplash, during the boot-process the screen changed automatic to the lightdm greeter screen.

After the update a remote login by ssh and running sudo chvt 7 changed the diplay to the log-in screen

Semi-temporarily fix: edit /etc/inidt.d/lightdm and add local to the depends line:

$ cat /etc/init.d/lightdm 
#!/sbin/openrc-run
supervisor=supervise-daemon

name="Display Manager"
description="Lightweight $name"

command=/usr/bin/lightdm

depend() {
	provide display-manager
	need localmount dbus local
}...

This works as it now delayes the start of lightdm until the locale local job of init has run the /etc/local.d/99-kill-pbsplash.start script
