Bug#703745: grub-pc: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` does not ask all questions for variables

[Paul Menzel]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.00-13
Severity: normal
Control: notfound -1 1.99-27

Dear Debian folks,


running `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc` (also with `-plow`), I am only
asked for the parameters/options for Linux and nothing else. As you can
see below `debconf-show grub-pc` shows all variables.

I tried `sudo dpkg-reconfigure` on a different system with package
grub-pc 1.99-27 from Debian Sid/unstable, it worked. Not sure if that is
comparable.


Thanks,

Paul
