Binary package hint: dell-recovery

version: 0.98

In a very specific factory install process, WinPE is present on one of the partitions for the duration of install, but gone after install completes. Because of this, grub-installer seems to get it in it's mind that there should be a Windows option in the grub menu.

That windows option is easily overridden by placing GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true in /etc/default/grub, but the 10 second menu is still generated because of os-prober.

In scenarios that it's guaranteed only one OS is around a dummy os-prober can be installed to work around this.

Fix:
A small dummy os-prober is installed.

Regression Potential:
None. This only affects dell factory install process.
