I've been performing testing of new versions of the Boot Info Script for it's developers and received the following input:
"mawk (default in Debian/Ubuntu) doesn't work for some of the new code:
- can't extract embedded grub4dos config file
- calculates wrong values for GiB/GB stuff (filefrag -v)"
It sounds like we can work around this using gawk but it was suggested that we might consider this newer version of mawk for Natty:
One of the developers of the Boot Info Script has confirmed that, "This mawk version, don't seem to have a problem with my current code". You can read info about the Boot Info Script here:

Is something like that possible?

It's proven to be an invaluable tool in diagnosing boot problems, particularly since the introduction of grub 2.
There is no indication ATM that Debian is headed in that direction:
