Bug#580736: grub is not able to configure Fedora in a dual boot setup

[Praveen A]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: important

Even though os prober detects Fedora presence, it configures Fedora
with Debian's label (but with Fedora's root fs mentioned in the
label), Fedora's kernel and Debian's root partition, making it
unusable.

The relevant section of grub-mkconfig command output is given below.
