Hi,
I reported #688739 about something modifying /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
during a squeeze->wheezy upgrade. Further analysis shows that this is a
spurious error. The files in /etc/grub.d are identical both after a
squeeze->wheezy upgrade of grub-pc and also after a fresh wheezy
installation of grub-pc.
The only difference I could find is here:
squeeze2wheezy# debsums -a grub-pc
/usr/lib/grub-legacy/update-grub OK
/usr/sbin/upgrade-from-grub-legacy OK
/usr/share/bug/grub-pc/presubj OK

How can debsums report a md5sum mismatch for a file owned by a
completely different package?
Setting the severity to serious - if there are false positives - are
there false negatives too?

Looks like a false alert. The conffile has been moved from one package
to another, leaving an entry for an obsolete conffile in
/var/lib/dkpg/status ...
