Bug#630568: grub-common: 10_linux also generates entries for xen kernels.

Package: grub-common
Version: 1.98+20100804-14
Severity: normal
Tags: patch


/etc/grub.d/10_linux also includes xen-kernels which are properly detected by 20_linux_xen. This results in duplicate entries for xen kernels and a lack of controlability -- by modifying the leading number -- of the prefered kernel.

This patch aims to remedy this problem, although it doesn't take other configurations in account.
