* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- 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 and an aubergine background 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_into_conf.
- Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
- Add crashkernel option.
- Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
- Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
- Reduce visual clutter in normal mode.
- Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.
- Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
- Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
- Ignore devices loop-mounted from files in Linux grub.d scripts.
- Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
- Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig.
- Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
- Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.
- Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts.
- Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
- Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first.
- Make sure GRUB_TIMEOUT isn't quoted unnecessarily.
- Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
- Use qemu rather than qemu-system-i386.
- Add a grub-rescue-efi-amd64 package.
- On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
using the diverted grub-install.
- Enable lua from grub-extras.
- Incorporate the bitop library into lua.
- Add enum_pci function to grub module in lua.
- Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
- Build part_msdos and vfat into EFI boot images.
- Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu.
- Preferred resolution detection for VBE.
- Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
* Fix logic error in VBE resolution detection that meant EDID information
was never used (LP: #693093).
* Export linux_gfx_mode so that it's usable in submenus (LP: #702594).
* Restore grub_mkdevicemap and associated options to grub-install, since
it's needed when doing EFI installs (thanks, Jason Gunthorpe;
LP: #702707).
* Don't fail when there are no *.lua files in $pkglibdir (thanks, Jason
Gunthorpe; LP: #702707).
* If we're upgrading and /boot/grub/core.img doesn't exist, then don't ask
where to install GRUB, since it probably means we're in some kind of
specialised environment such as a live USB stick (LP: #591202).
* Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium. We only
need to ask it if we're upgrading from GRUB Legacy and found an empty
kopt in menu.lst (LP: #591202).

* New upstream release candidate.
[ Alexander Kurtz ]
* 05_debian_theme:
- If we find a background image and no colours were specified, use
upstream defaults for color_normal and color_highlight rather than
setting color_normal to black/black.
- Make the code more readable by replacing code for handling
alternatives.
- Make the code for searching for pictures in /boot/grub more readable
and robust (for example against newlines in the filename).
- Don't try the other alternatives when $GRUB_BACKGROUND is set; you can
now add GRUB_BACKGROUND= to /etc/default/grub to force no background
image (closes: #608263).
