Hi, 

I would like to suggest a move of the hack mentioned in original bug report to 
update-grub, to /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme or similar. The idea is to 
provide an easy way to change the grub2 background (including with those 
provided in grub2-splashimages) for those that have a "hidden" /usr (not 
only !).

Why not using a variable in /etc/default/grub that, if not present would let 
the background be debian-blueish-wallpaper and if present would choose and 
copy one of the backgrounds from grub2-splashimages ?

Anyway, my basis question is : would such a patch have any chance to be 
included ?

Regards, 

Didier
