Bug#488235: grub-pc: update-grub should use unicode.pff in /boot/grub not the one in /usr/share/grub

[Felix Zielcke]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080626-1
Severity: minor

update-grub by default uses the unicode.pff in /usr/share/grub which
isn't working for me, because my / is ext4 which grub can't
handle (yet)
Luckly it just doenst't load the gfxterm and vbe module and boots
without problems
If I remove the /usr/share prefix, the set root and search command in
grub.cfg as you can see below it works
As I installed grub the unicode.pff got already copied to /boot/grub
