Bug#903994: Backport support for GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_CUSTOM

Tue Jul 17 23:02:31 BST 2018

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-4
Severity: wishlist

The git version of grub2 and specifically the new grub-mkconfig tool
supports two new directives: GRUB_EARLY_INITRD_LINUX_{STOCK,CUSTOM} (see
commit a698240df0c43278b2d1d7259c8e7a6926c63112)

These allow grub to load extra initrd images early in a way that doesn't
require hand-modifying grub.cfg and most importantly persists across
update-grub invocations.
