Hi again - Sorry I had a problem and didn't check if this bug is already listed. It may be the same as bug #250626. I'm not clear on how to merge it so I'll leave that for someone else if it's appropriate.
However, this bug should not be given severity of "wishlist", it occurred on a normal "apt-get update" package upgrade, and information was lost for no reason. I suppose the idea is that now we should treat grub.cfg as output and instead put our configuration in /etc/grub.d. But the fact that we have not done this yet is no reason to delete our old configuration! For god's sake, simply make update-grub script "mv grub.cfg grub.cfg~" before it overwrites it! Arguing why it was appropriate to delete user information is crap. Thanks, - Greg
