grub2 1.97~beta3-1ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

grub2 (1.97~beta3-1ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    + debian/default/grub:
      - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options.
      - Use GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT option to set "quiet splash" for
        default items only.  These options won't be set in single user mode.
      - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
    + debian/templates.in:
      - Change default value of grub2/linux_cmdline_default to "quiet
        splash".
    + debian/config.in, debian/postinst.in, debian/grub-pc.templates.in:
      - Migrate timeout settings from menu.lst.
    + debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme:
      - Set a monochromatic theme for Ubuntu.
    + debian/legacy/update-grub:
      - Apply Ubuntu branding: title, recovery mode, quiet option, and tweak
        how memtest86+ is displayed.
      - Use UUIDs where appropriate.
    + debian/patches/03_ubuntu_grub_standards:
      - Remove GNU/Linux from default string.
    + debian/patches/10_crashkernel.patch:
      - Add crashkernel= options if kdump and makedumpfile are available.
    + debian/patches/951_quick_boot.diff:
      - 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.
    + debian/patches/952_sleep_shift.diff:
      - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
    + debian/patches/954_normal_quiet.diff:
      - 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.
    + debian/patches/955_really_quiet.diff:
      - Remove some verbose messages printed before reading the
        configuration file.
    + debian/patches/956_linux_quiet.diff:
      - If the environment variable "quiet" is set to something other than
        1, suppress progress messages as the kernel and initrd load. Set
        this for non-recovery kernel menu entries.
    + debian/patches/957_savedefault.diff, debian/rules:
      - Add GRUB_DEFAULT=saved, as well as grub-set-default and grub-reboot
        utilities. Provides functionality essentially equivalent to GRUB
        Legacy's savedefault.
    + debian/patches/959_loopback_root.diff:
      - Keep the loopback file open so that subsequent changes to the "root"
        environment variable don't affect it.
  * debian/patches/960_test_invalid_fs.diff: Fix test crash if loopback
    device does not contain a filesystem.
