i took the patch collin referenced, applied it to the installed files (ie /etc/grub.d/00_header & /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig) as a proof of concept, fixed some bugs (bashisms & unquoted variables in comparisons), and once i proved the changes worked, i applied them to the grub2 source package, resulting in the attached patch.
1. apt-get source grub2 2. apt-get build-dep grub2 3. apply patch 4. dpkg-buildpackage -D -us -uc the patch will only apply to 1.98-1ubuntu10 because it adds an entry to the debian changelog. i will also attach the patches to /etc/grub.d/00_header (grub script fragment) & /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig (sh script) in case somebody doesn't want to go through the hassle (though the more proper fix) of building the source package and just wants to patch the already installed files.
