Bug#309932: boot-admin should not be in unstable

thanks

Hi, I'm surprised that you uploaded g-s-t 1.2.0 to unstable with
boot-admin enabled.

As I reported before, its grasp of grub's command syntax is very poor,
resulting in the most complete breakage of my menu.lst you could
possibly imagine. 

I would say that this is much more severe than the bug that caused you
to disable services-admin.

At the same time it is completely unaware of Debian's way of
auto-configuring the kernels list through update-grub, resulting in the
removal of the ## END AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST line which is required for
update-grub to function properly.

I understand that generating the auto kernels list through parsing magic
comments, as done by update-grub, is kind of a hack, heck it is the
current standard in Debian and its offshoots and therefore should not be
broken.

Thanks,

Johannes
