Bug#463107: grub-pc: cannot use gfxterm as the terminal setting

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.95+20080128-1
Severity: normal

I have a Asus Eeepc onto which I installed Debian testing. I have a seperate /boot partition with the /root and /home 
partitions on encrypted lvm partitions setup through the installer. I then ungraded to unstable and replaced grub with 
grub-pc. I would like to use the debian blue swirl background image for grub but update-grub does not put the required 
entries into my grub.cfg. So in /etc/default/grub I added the line: GRUB_TERMINAL=gfxterm. When I invoke update-grub it 
issues the message: Invalid terminal "gfxterm"
