Subject: grub: update-grub hardcodes menu entries to Debian
Date: Tue, 4 Sep 2007 01:09:19 +0300
Package: grub

The update-grub command hardcodes menu entries to Debian

# Title
title="Debian GNU/`uname -s | sed -e s,GNU/,,g`"

For Debian-based distributions this requires rebuilding the grub 
package, which should not be nessecary.

Please change title variable to:

title=`/usr/bin/lsb_release --short --description` || title="Debian GNU/`uname -s | sed -e s,GNU/,,g`"

Don't forget to add a Recommends or Suggests on lsb-release

The same bug is already reported in Ubuntu's BTS - look at
