Hi,

I ran into this problem today. I'm thinking about writing a patch, but
before I do that, I would like to ask you some questions:

1. Until the recent upgrade of desktop-base, the postinst copied the 
   default background image to /boot/grub. Since the filename of that 
   image has changed, that code is now broken. Correct?

2. The proper way to fix this bug is IMHO to remove the buggy code from 
   the postinst completely and fix 05_debian_theme by addressing the
   issues you've listed in your mail and maybe make the code less error 
   prone in general. Do you agree?

3. If possible, this should be fixed for squeeze. Right?

Best regards

Alexander Kurtz
