Bug#605366: grub-pc: part of GRUB text is unreadable

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-8
Severity: normal

A part of the GRUB text (in particular the remaining time before the
default is automatically selected) is unreadable with the new theme
(used by default) because of transparency and the fact that both the
foreground color and the background color are light. GRUB should
ensure that its text is always readable.
