Hello,

why was the dependency (recommendation) on os-prober removed? With the
automagical upgrade to grub2, many users will have the same problem of
lost other OSes. I would highly recommend to reopen the bug as an
important one, until os-prober is recommended by grub2. Letting any
debian user with a (suddenly no more working) dual-boot system search
for the loss of his OS is not really nice! Specially, as grub2 seems to
be totally undocumented!
I would even say that "grave" or "critical" would be the right priority
- for an average user, the other OSes are suddenly lost.

Best regards,
Simon
