This bug was fixed in the package grub2 - 2.00-7ubuntu1

---------------
grub2 (2.00-7ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * 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 appropriate background for Ubuntu.
    - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
    - 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.
    - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
    - 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.
    - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
    - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
    - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
    - In recovery mode, add nomodeset to the Linux kernel arguments, and
      remove the 'set gfxpayload=keep' command.
    - Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems, and suppress the menu
      by default if those are the only other-OS entries.
    - Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices.
    - Replace 'single' by 'recovery' when friendly-recovery is installed.
    - Disable cursor as early as possible in grub_main.
    - Apply patch from Fedora to forbid insmod on UEFI secure boot.
    - Apply patch from Fedora to add a "linuxefi" loader.
    - On amd64, add a raw-uefi custom upload tarball for signing.
  * Fix hwmatch to not override more informative errors from grub_file_open
    with "file not found".
  * Read /etc/default/grub.d/*.cfg after /etc/default/grub (LP: #901600).

grub2 (2.00-7) experimental; urgency=low

  * Backport from upstream:
    - Fix stderr leakage from grub-probe in is_path_readable_by_grub.
    - Fix tftp endianness problem.
  * Merge from Ubuntu:
    - Prefer translations from language packs (LP: #537998).  (No-op for
      Debian, but harmless.)
    - Avoid getting confused by inaccessible loop device backing paths
      (LP: #938724).

grub2 (2.00-6) experimental; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Adjust package descriptions to talk about update-grub, not update-grub2.
  * Backport from upstream:
    - Fix grub-emu build on FreeBSD.
  * Revert gcc-4.6-multilib build-dependency change from 2.00-1, since
    kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 don't have gcc-4.6-multilib.  Instead, make
    sure to only install efiemu32.o and efiemu64.o on (linux-)i386,
    kopensolaris-i386, and any-amd64.
  * Manually expand @PACKAGE@ symbols in grub-efi.postinst (closes:
    #688725), grub-linuxbios.postinst (closes: #688726), and grub2.postinst
    (closes: #688724).

  [ Debconf translations ]
  * Lithuanian (Rimas Kudelis).  Closes: #675628
  * Galician (Jorge Barreiro).  Closes: #677389
  * Welsh (Daffyd Tomos).
  * Greek (galaxico).  Closes: #685201
  * Romanian (Andrei POPESCU).  Closes: #685477
  * Finnish (Timo Jyrinki).

  [ Cyril Brulebois ]
  * Use xz compression for all binaries to save up some space on CD images
    (closes: #688773).
