Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-11
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
update-grub currently produces menu items like:
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 and XEN 4.0-amd64'
There is no reason to capitalise Xen in that way and IMHO it looks strange.
The attached patch switches to:
'Debian GNU/Linux, with Xen 4.0-amd64 and Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64'
I moved Xen first since I think it makes it clearer that a given menu item
launches Xen, which is useful information to put up front. Also I found that
with the long Linux version numbers Debian uses the Xen was very nearly off the
edge of the screen.
Although the string is processed with gettext_quoted it doesn't appear to be
translated anywhere (or at least I couldn't find where).
