+        * startup.el (normal-splash-screen): Add argument `concise'.
+        Remove unused binding `prev-buffer'. Let-bind `splash-buffer'
+        to the created buffer.  If `concise' is non-nil, call
+        `display-buffer', otherwise `switch-to-buffer'.  Doc fix.
+        (display-startup-screen): Add argument `concise' to the call to
+        `normal-splash-screen'.
