Bug#601084: grub-pc: wrong path in generated grub.cfg

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-6
Severity: important
When running update-grub2 the produced grub.cfg contains wrong path for
kernel and initrd if /boot is on a separate partition.
What do I see:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64' --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 33a187d1-3519-4b35-94d5-062557dc6488
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=bfc2cb3a-22ab-433f-bd19-685cb628d6fd ro quiet splash
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-trunk-amd64
What I should have seen:
menuentry 'Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64' --class
debian --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,msdos1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 33a187d1-3519-4b35-94d5-062557dc6488
echo 'Loading Linux 2.6.35-trunk-amd64 ...'
linux /vmlinuz-2.6.35-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=bfc2cb3a-22ab-433f-bd19-685cb628d6fd ro quiet splash
echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.35-trunk-amd64
Solution:
Either skip set root='(hd0,msdos1)' or configure the path relative to
the /boot partition.
