Bug#254947: update-grub should take into account the classic vmlinuz/vmlinuz.old names

[Joshua Kwan]

Package: grub
Version: 0.94+cvs20040511-1
Severity: wishlist

Right now, if I have a /boot/vmlinuz symlink in /boot, i get

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz root=/dev/hda3 ro
savedefault
boot

and for vmlinuz.old

title           Debian GNU/Linux, kernel .old
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz.old .old
savedefault
boot

Note that the kernel line for vmlinuz.old is wrong.

These should be special cases IMO, and say perhaps Debian GNU/Linux
(default kernel) and Debian GNU/Linux (older kernel), or something.

Thanks,
Josh
