  0.97-3 made it complete sucsessfully, at least.  But the fix uncovered
 another dash issue:

    tore at pride :) sudo /bin/dash /sbin/update-grub
    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 ...
    [: 788: 9920060109: out of range
    [: 788: 9920060109: out of range
    Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-1-k7
    Found kernel: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-xen20060109
    Updating /boot/grub/menu.lst ... done

    tore at pride :) 

  If run under bash, the order changes, i.e. vmlinuz-2.6.15-xen20060109
 is put as the first entry in menu.lst.  But at least it generates a
 valid menu.lst using dash now.

  This should probably be fixed, too, in order to guarantee consistent
 behaviour.  If you need it I can provide "dash -x" output, but I would
 think this issue is fairly easy to reproduce so I haven't bothered.
