Oh the memories.  Debian unstable was my desktop distro for many years.
I can't say I miss it.

I would like to see the error that it produces when you try:
aptitude purge sysv-rc-bootsplash

This is what I would likely try next.

Of course, without knowing the nature of the problem, I am just stabbing
in the dark.
