Why not have the user write a custom entry then?  I think it clutters the

native disk, can't use os-prober) can be supported by creating a new config
file, why not do that? It was the whole reason for designing update-grub to
be easily extensible.
Even with the new configuration parameter, user can still decide to leave the parameter unset and write a custom entry.

My concern is not with presenting too many options to the user, but with having
to support them.  In general, if a use case can be supported without adding a
new user option, I think it's much better not to add it.


OK. I committed the simplified version (no configuration parameter).
