Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97+20091130-1
Severity: normal

I installed grub-pc in a clean chroot and got the following dialog:

│ The following Linux command line was extracted from /etc/default/grub or    │
│ the `kopt' parameter in GRUB Legacy's menu.lst.  Please verify that it is   │
│ correct, and modify it if necessary.                                        │
│                                                                             │
│ Linux command line:                                                         │
│                                                                             │
│ ___________________________________________________________________________ │

As it was a completely clean installation, the first sentence of that dialog
makes no sense and is confusing.
