Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: wishlist
I find that GRUB2's install is more fragile than GRUB1: I've had my disk
become unbootable (not even booting into GRUB2) with GRUB2 twice already
(still not sure how/why it happened), whereas it never happened with
GRUB1. So I think we should aim for GRUB2's install to be something you
do once and never touch again.
A really nice way to reach this goal is to use GRUB2's advanced scripting
functionality, which would allow us to search&list all kernels at
boot time, making "update-grub" completely unnecessary.

GRUB2 scripting is able to do this (see e.g. Super GRUB2 disk) but doing
so by default will only slowdown boot process
