Comment 8 for bug 1814830

I am now studying the Grub2/Upgrading documentation and I intend to
perform the upgrade. Then I suppose I will not need a repair of the
menu.lst creation software, so we may close the complaint.

Removing menu.lst did not help, update-grub still did not re-create menu.lst

Thanks for your help.
