Package: grub-common

Severity: important
While testing a lot of kernels I found that if I have more than around
25 of them with long name (git versions) grub fails to load grub.cfg at
boot and restart the computer.
I don't know if this is the number of lines or the size of grub.cfg that
matters but it is fully reproducible here.
One can just copy n paste lines in grub.cfg to reproduce.
Can you reproduce it in grub-emu?
If you create an ext2 filesystem image, put that grub.cfg inside it, and try
to access it in grub-emu (loop configfile commands), does it still happen?
Hard to tell because grub-emu fails to load the file (be it
in /boot/grub/grub.cfg with only calling grub-emu or trying the loop
file tricks ) most of the time : it shows an empty list. And trying to
load the configfile a second time segfault grub-emu ...
I am trying to build a dbg version of grub-common and grub-pc but I
found out that cdbs only works by defining entries in the control file
(adding -dbg-package does not works ... well it works but at the end
the dbg packages are not there) and I don't know yet how to define
them ... always added --dpkg-package to dh_strip and that was done
beforehand. I am not fond of cdbs right now :-(
I attached the grub.cfg file. .break is the one that break grub-pc
(except that I had insmod tga and the background image uncommented but
grub-emu is not able to render the background ... ).
