There doesn't seem to be a switch to prevent killing a manually created menu.lst

Hi


I use SID and in the last update the package "memtest86+" was updated.
As part of its postinst it called "update-grub" which in turn totally fucked up my manually crafted configuration.

So to prevent such accidents in the future i "dpkg-divert"ed the update-grub-script out of the way and replaced it with "/bin/true", as there doesn't seam to exist a other (obvious and/or elegant)
method to make update-grub a no-op.

IMO a /etc/default/grub to make update-grub a no-op is missing.
