Mistake in "10_proprietary-graphics-drivers" file prevents splash from showing on boot

Splash screen (plymouth) stopped showing during boot after installing nvidia-current-updates driver package in Ubuntu 12.10 (fresh install). In grub console (the one activated by pressing "c" in grub menu) I have managed to find out, that the $linux_gfx_mode environmental variable is set to "text" and I thought that it might be the cause. I have traced this through several files of grub2 script structure:
/boot/grub.cfg ->
/etc/grub.d/10_linux ->
/boot/grub/gfxblcklist.txt ->
/usr/share/grub-gfxpayload-lists/blacklist/10_proprietary-graphics-drivers
(which is a symbolic link to /etc/alternatives/i386-linux-gnu_grub_fb_blacklist)
I believe that this last file belongs to this package (at least this package is mentioned in this file), which is why I am reporting this bug here. The last two lines of this file say something like:

#Example: blacklist all NVIDIA graphics cards
v10ded.*sv.*sd.*bc03sc.*

I think that the last line should be commented, since it is only meant to be an example. Doing this, and running update-grub-gfxpayload and then update-grub solves the problem for me.

OK, it might be a duplicate of bug #1057093. It turns out that this "mistake" was on purpose (not that I like it).
