Bug#901279: duplicate of bug #250626

[Greg Alexander]

Hi again - Sorry I had a problem and didn't check if this bug is already
listed.  It may be the same as bug #250626.  I'm not clear on how to
merge it so I'll leave that for someone else if it's appropriate.

However, this bug should not be given severity of "wishlist", it occurred
on a normal "apt-get update" package upgrade, and information was lost
for no reason.  I suppose the idea is that now we should treat grub.cfg
as output and instead put our configuration in /etc/grub.d.  But the fact
that we have not done this yet is no reason to delete our old
configuration!

For god's sake, simply make update-grub script "mv grub.cfg grub.cfg~"
before it overwrites it!  Arguing why it was appropriate to delete user
information is crap.

Thanks,
- Greg
