Bug#603624: grub-pc: please include grub-menulst2cfg

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-8
Severity: normal
It appears that in upstream commit 2783, made on 2010-09-18
GRUB-legacy configuration file support was added. This includes a
utility called 'grub-menulst2cfg' which I used today to debug a
problem I was having with a system transitioning from grub1 to
grub2[0]. Its a pretty useful utility for transition, and since we are
transitioning in squeeze, it would be good to include.
Interestingly, a piece of this commit was picked into the package,
because the same commit adds the 'legacycfg' module, which contains
the 'legacy_configfile' command which I was able to use.
Thanks!
Micah
0. the problem was that I was not getting any serial output from
grub2, even though I had all the settings set how they should be. I
ran grub-menulst2cfg from upstream on my old menu.lst and I found one
difference which was that I was missing "terminfo serial -g 80x24
vt100" in grub.cfg. So I added that to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then
re-ran update-grub and now it works.
