Bug#588326: grub-common: Some configuration options are not documented in /etc/default/grub (example: GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER)

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

The configuration option GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER which I found by reading 
/etc/grub.d/30_os-prober is not documented in /etc/default/grub where other
options are documented in comments.

In addition I wasn't able to find any other place where all grub configuration 
options are documented.

I suspect that there might be more options missing from the documentation in
/etc/default/grub, too.

cheers
