Hi,
it looks to me that the patch which removes the usage of "local" in
scripts (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2011-11/msg00037.html)
introduces a bug in the function version_test_gt() in the file
util/grub-mkconfig_lib.in:
The variable $cmp is set to "gt" or "ge", however,
$version_test_gt_cmp is used instead and the case has no effect.
This patch should fix it:

I noticed the problem when I tried to apply the patch
"dpkg_version_comparison.patch" from Debian.
Maybe someone should take a look at the other variables ...
Regards,
Lukas
