Bug#610273: grub-pc: 05_debian_theme ignores COLOR_NORMAL and COLOR_HIGHLIGHT

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98+20100804-13
Severity: minor
Tags: patch

For some reason I have to place background image for grub
on boot partition (root fs inaccessible before kernel load,
wierd hardware). I like spacefun theme and use it, but
found that if I specify GRUB_BACKGROUND, default menu color
is set to black/black which completly unreadable (picture
black there) even if I set COLOR_NORMAL and COLOR_HIGHLIGHT.

I can't change it by specifying parameters only in 
/etc/default/grub, 05_debian_theme ignores my colors.
I can't use WALLPAPER because it will be overwritten by
/usr/share/desktop-base/grub_background.sh.

So I ask you to apply following patch:

--- 05_debian_theme.old	2010-12-18 03:44:00.000000000 +0300
+++ 05_debian_theme	2011-01-17 01:23:51.000000000 +0300
@@ -127,7 +127,7 @@
 # Next try to use the background image and colors specified by desktop-base.
 # If we haven't found a background image yet, use the default from desktop-base.
 # Finally, if all of the above fails, use the default theme.
-set_background_image "${GRUB_BACKGROUND}" ||
+set_background_image "${GRUB_BACKGROUND}" "${COLOR_NORMAL}" "${COLOR_HIGHLIGHT}" ||
 set_background_image "`ls -1 *.jpg *.JPG *.jpeg *.JPEG *.png *.PNG *.tga *.TGA 2>/dev/null | head -1`" ||
 set_background_image "${WALLPAPER}" "${COLOR_NORMAL}" "${COLOR_HIGHLIGHT}" ||
 set_background_image "/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png" ||


As you can see, it adds ability to set colors in /etc/default/grub
(and removes the need of changing 05_debian_theme by end user) but
preserved old behavior when COLOR_* not set.
