Having switched to grub2 recently, I do that as well. But I suspect most people will be content with the simpler configuration options offered by editing /etc/default/grub and running update-grub. Oh, and my grub.cfg is not longer than menu.lst. The shell scripts in /etc/grub.d put quite a lot of stuff into the file that isn't really necessary. > and well, always backup grub.cfg If you want to edit it manually, that's always a good idea.

That's easy to avoid, just put the editing script aside: # dpkg-divert --add --rename /usr/sbin/update-grub # ln -s /bin/true /usr/sbin/update-grub > Wow, I'm not the only troll ;). I have shied away from grub2 for many years due to its perceived complexity, but if you don't use all the bells and whistles it is not really any more complicated than grub1. The biggest problem is still the meager documentation, but grub1's manual was not stellar either.
