This is good news :).

OT:

Btw. if GRUB2 should become default, I recommend to change it's updater,
because his note

#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using
templates
# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
#

by grub.cfg is nonsense, it's not possible to get a good customised
"menu.lst" without editing grub.cfg. Unfortunately several packages run
the GRUB2 updater, so I changed the updater script to

#!/bin/sh -e
exec grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg_$(date +"%b-%d-%Y_%H-%M-%S")
"$@"

just doing a backup by the script isn't enough, because sometimes the
packages run it several times.

And unfortunately it could happen that the script gets changed back to

#!/bin/sh -e
exec update-grub "$@"

as it happened for my Ubuntu Studio (that btw. isn't ok on my machine,
OTOH I had an issue with Audacity on 64 Studio 3.3 alpha).

It would be good when using GRUB2, to add a similar edited upadter and
perhaps an old fashioned xorg.conf, perhaps it would be better to set
the freq scaling back to performance by default.

Perhaps you keep GRUB.

Anyway, some things by the new Linux style could cause trouble.

2 Cents,

Ralf
