Yeah, I figured it was likely done on purpose; that comment was more for
others reading the archives. :-)

Hmm. Maybe it's an older version of terminal_output? (As in, for an
older grub2 prerelease version.) So the if is only there to have a
fallback in case you're using an older version?
Just a guess, though; I have no idea, since I haven't been following the
grub2 development at all...

Yeah. I can see where they're coming from (they have to update the
config in some sort of automated fashion: for instance when a new kernel
.deb gets installed), but that doesn't mean I like it. Thank you!
