Adding "set -x" near the top of /etc/grub.d/07_debian_theme may help
diagnose exactly what's going on; but perhaps this is simply a leftover
from some local experiment and should be removed in favour of
/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme.

Oh so the problem is the file /etc/grub.d/07_debian_theme ? I have just to
remove the file or I have to modify something inside the other files of
grub?

P.S. I know that we are all full of work in this period, my frustration
comes from the fact that I can't turn off the pc and every time I do an
upgrade I have to remove the file /boot/grub/grub.cfg.new or I have to put
a live distrution inside and replace all the files with my backup of the
folders of Grub :)
