Hi,

I tried the patch from
https://savannah.gnu.org/support/download.php?file_id=19772

The fil can simply be dumped into debian/patches, the patch is then
applied automatically (and does apply cleanly). The resulting grub can
get a GRUB_TERMINAL='serial console' in /etc/default/grub and shows
the menu on both real and serial console. It is useable on both
consoles.

Please apply this patch in time for squeeze, it would really be a
shame not to have this functionality in Debian squeeze. It is
important for datacenter use.

Greetings
Marc
