I wonder if you
want to stay with the monolithic extlinux-update script in the long term

grub2 has (I have already sent a proposal for this)?
switch is on the plan, but didn't got arround to it just yet. thanks for
your initial work on it, unfortunately, it takes some time to get
through a huge thing to see that it doesn't break with existing
assumptions etc, which is why i haven't done it yet.
also, it would require a rebase on the current stuff :(
hope to get on to it once squeeze is out. if you have time for it
before, you're most welcome. easiest would be if you provide a series of
small commits ontop of current git, so that each patch can be easily be
reviewed and tested.
I'd like to add support for other OSes that os-prober detects and for
packages like grub-invaders and memtest86 (the latter all include
bundled script that hook into update-grub).
os-proper support is quite high on the todo, as it's required for
inclusion of syslinux-installer udeb into d-i.
BTW, I think that the detected floppy and CD images should appear in a
separate submenu and not in the top level menu.
well, the current menues are not that good anyway, yet..
