Bug#336729: inconsistent and ugly output messages

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: grub
Version: 0.95+cvs20040624-18
Severity: minor

I just got the following messages during upgrade:

| Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
| Testing for an existing GRUB menu.list file... found: /boot/grub/menu.lst .
| Searching for splash image... none found, skipping...
| Found kernel: /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1-686
| Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

This is all pretty minor but there are several things that could be
improved here:

 - the messages are not consistent with regards to spacing before
   an ellipsis.  In Debian it's common to put a space there.

 - in the first two lines, the dot at the end looks a bit strange
   since it has a space before... in fact, it's also inconsistent
   with the last but one line where no dot is printed at the end.
   I suggest no dot is printed in the former two cases either.
