Bug#397016: adding rescue boot menu entry for backup initramfs

[maximilian attems]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-18
Severity: important

latest initramfs-tools backups the booted initramfs in ${initrd}.bak
it would be even cooler if update-grub would take care to add an
rescue entry for the user, as the user might not be aware that in
the case of an b0rked initramfs there is an backup at his disposition.

kernel-package got updated to remove it on linux-image purge.
thanks for considering a fix even now in freeze time.

ls /boot/*bak
/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-2-686.bak  /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-1-686.bak
