Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090725-1
Justification: renders package unusable
Severity: grave
In the upgrade from grub-legacy to grub-pc, my menu.lst entries to dual
boot Windows XP were lost. I would normally be fine with migrating them
manually, except that (1) there was no warning from debconf that they
would be lost and (2) I cannot find any instructions on how to migrate
them. Neither "man grub" nor "man grub-pc" brings up anything at all.
In my experience, dual booting Windows and Linux is more common than
booting Linux alone; thus, this problem renders grub-pc unusable to most
users.
Attached is my menu.lst from before the upgrade.
