Bug Description
Binary package hint: grub2
I am sure that this has been asked for many times in some way or another, but anyway: after a few kernel upgrades, the grub menu becomes rather unsightly due to the long list of kernels which will normally never be chosen. Would it be possible to move everything except the main one into a sub-menu, something like "Ubuntu, other options"?

* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes: into_conf. grub_to_ access_ device to handle filesystems device. map during grub-install or device. map. locale- langpack as well, in boot/grub/ device. map is missing. efi-amd64 package containing a rescue CD-ROM image
- Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
- Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
- Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
- Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script: title,
recovery mode, quiet option, tweak how memtest86+ is displayed, and
use UUIDs where appropriate.
- Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_
- Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
- Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
- If other operating systems are installed, then automatically unhide
the menu. Otherwise, if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is 0, then use keystatus
if available to check whether Shift is pressed. If it is, show the
menu, otherwise boot immediately. If keystatus is not available, then
fall back to a short delay interruptible with Escape.
- Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
- Don't display introductory message about line editing unless we're
actually offering a shell prompt. Don't clear the screen just before
booting if we never drew the menu in the first place.
- Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the configuration
file.
- Suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load for
non-recovery kernel menu entries.
- Change prepare_
loop-mounted on file images.
- Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in 10_linux.
- Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed, that is if it failed
to get to the end of one of the normal runlevels.
- Don't generate /boot/grub/
grub-mkconfig by default.
- Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
- Don't display "GRUB loading" unless Shift is held down.
- Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts to tolerate
our backport of the grub-doc split.
- Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/
- Look for .mo files in /usr/share/
preference.
- Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
- Probe all devices in 'grub-probe --target=drive' if

- Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
- Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
- Program vesafb on BIOS systems rather than efifb.
- Add a grub-rescue-
for EFI-AMD64.
- On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
using the diverted grub-install.
- When embedding the core image in a post-MBR gap, check for and avoid
sectors matching any of a list of known signatures.
- Disable video_bochs and video_cirrus on PC BIOS systems, as probing
PCI space seems to break on some systems.
- Downgrade "ACPI shutdown failed" error to a debug message, sin...
