Bug#964859: grub-common: background images don't work with luks2 encrypted root partition

[David Kalnischkies]

reassign 945404 grub-common
# package usefulness is not really affected
severity 945404 minor
severity 1004514 minor
merge 945404 964859 1004514
thanks

Hi,

as I stumbled over this problem just now I thought I would at least help
a bit by merging the reports about the issue (fingers crossed I got the
control@ right, its a while), which I consider minor as it doesn't
affect the usefulness of grub – it still boots without issue – it is
just not as visually fitting as it could be.

From my PoV I agree with the analyse and patch by Steve McIntyre in
https://bugs.debian.org/945404#35 and have locally applied it at least
until grub upstream understands luks2 and can detect this on its own.

I suppose patching #803995 (Caching background image conceals original
filename when updating) would make sense if we (always) cache. There is
also #692244 which asks for having caching configurable.


Best regards
