-case ${platform}:${GRUB_TERMINAL} in
+case ${platform}:${GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} in
   pc:gfxterm)

This is not at all the 00_header from the 1.97~beta2-2 grub-common.deb
To be sure I just extracted the one from grub-common_i386 which was
built by the buildd and it has:

-case ${platform}:${GRUB_TERMINAL} in
+case ${platform}:${GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT} in
   pc:gfxterm)
     # Make the font accessible
     prepare_grub_to_access_device `${grub_probe} --target=device ${GRUB_FONT_PATH}`

and the timeout is now set at the end of 00_header not before that part
like in your patch.
I was surprised to see that gfxterm wasn't enabled by you by default,
because our RC bugs clearly show that the gfxterm code ended up in
grub.cfg and that broke all ATI users.
