I need to talk again with Colin Watson about this, who had this idea
first. I think he wanted to implement it directly in os-prober instead
of our /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober
Which also makes more sense.

Information about the package:

Note that for bug reports we prefer to have the output of our bugscript
which reportbug (I don't know about reportbug-ng but now it should do it
too) automatically attaches to the report.
Though in this case of course it doestn't matter at all.
