Bug#341538: update-grub duplicates existing splashimage entry
everytime it is run

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-1
Severity: minor
Hello,
I tried grub 0.97-1 from unstable yesterday. Before I had
0.95+cvs20040624-19 from Etch.
While trying out grub 0.97 (see bug # ) I ran update-grub
several times. It told me that is found splash image but
will use the previous default. Curious on what will happen
when I remove my previous setting I removed my previous
setting and tried again. But update-grub still insisted
that I have a previous default set.
Well later I found out why: It duplicated the splashimage
entry lots of times in the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST and
I removed only my own entry before that AUTOMAGIC KERNELS
LIST.
Needless to say it shouldn't do that ;-)
Regards,
Martin
# menu.lst - See: grub(8), info grub, update-grub(8)
# grub-install(8), grub-floppy(8),
# grub-md5-crypt, /usr/share/doc/grub
# and /usr/share/doc/grub-doc/.
## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
#
# You can specify 'saved' instead of a number. In this case, the default entry
# is the entry saved with the command 'savedefault'.
default 0
## timeout sec
# Set a timeout, in SEC seconds, before automatically booting the default entry
# (normally the first entry defined).
timeout 5
# Set colors for foreground and background:
# (RRGGBB, in hex)
#
# These are optional it will still work without them
#
foreground = ffffff
background = 000000
