Bug#570967: grub-legacy: timeout setting not working

[Alexander Joelly]

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-59
Severity: important


on squeeze the grub-legacy package generating a configfile with grub-mkconfig it contains a "set timout=5" option which inside the 00_header section which is not working resulting in grub waits for the user selecting a kernel entry to boot;
entering the option "timeout 5" by hand like in previous versions and timout works as expected;
