Bug#608263: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme: new 05_debian_theme doesn't allow no background image

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-11
Severity: normal
File: /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
There is brand new 05_debian_theme in newest grub-pc. Unfortunetly, it
does not allow user to have no background splash image at all, unless
user seriously mess up with files.
In previous version, in order to have no background image, user had to
comment out or make empty WALLPAPER variable in
/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh
In new version if WALLPAPER variable is empty or commented out,
05_debian_theme will return an error in step two (line 51) and fall back
to set
/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
as default background (line 133). If this fails, then GRUB will fall
back to default theme without background image. But it will never fail
if desktop-base is installed.
So, in order to have no background image on GRUB2, user have to either:
a) remove desktop-base from system
b) manually edit 05_debian_theme file (i.e. commenting out lines 130-133)
c) rename /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png file, so it
would not exist
I don't think that any of these is an option. First one is perhaps least
obtrusive, but I can imagine an user that wants one of themes provided by
desktop-base, but doesn't want any image on GRUB.
Also, it should be noted that currently there is no way to specify
custom colors for GRUB2 without using background image (lines 94-99 in
05_debian_theme).
I think that there could be special keyword for WALPAPER in
grub_background.sh for 05_debian_theme to just use colors from
grub_background.sh without any background image. Much as there is 'saved'
for GRUB_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub.
Cheers
