Perhaps I'm being defeated by the absence of any documentation for
update-grub.

It is most unfriendly that the careful instructions for upgrading to
sarge, which discussed the disk name change issue, did not include such
a notice.

It is also most unfriendly that the update-grub manpage offers no
documentation of the program's operation.

Are these difficulties resolved in grub2?
