Bug#601090: grub-pc: grub-update generates wrong grub.cfg when /boot/ is on a separate partition

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-6
Severity: critical
Tags: sid
Justification: breaks the whole system

I have separate boot partition. After recent upgrade of grub-pc update-grub
generates grub.cfg file with lines like "linux      /boot/vmlinuz-...." instead
of "linux   /vmlinuz-...." like it should in a case of separate partition. This
lead to error
"file not found
Error: you need to load the kernel first".
