Bug#577757: grub-pc: autogenerated 'grub.cfg' comments feature "this file" equivocation

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: minor


Line #2 seems to contradict lines #99-101:

    % nl /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pee "head -n 6" "tail -n 5"
     1	#
     2	# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
     3	#
     4	# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates
     5	# from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub
     6	#
    98	### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###
    99	# This file provides an easy way to add custom menu entries.  Simply type the
   100	# menu entries you want to add after this comment.  Be careful not to change
   101	# the 'exec tail' line above.
   102	### END /etc/grub.d/40_custom ###

Line #2 mentions "THIS FILE" and line #99 mentions "This file", maybe the latter 
refers to '40_custom'.  Line #99 adds a "this comment".
