Package: grub
Version: 0.97-14
Severity: normal

Hi,

When upgrading to the latest version of GRUB, I got the following
message:

grub (0.97-14) unstable; urgency=low

  grub-install and update-grub has change location.
  
  There's a wrapper available in /sbin to keep backward compatibility
  but
  it'll be remove once Etch is release as stable. You _must_ edit your
  /etc/kernel-img.conf and remove the full paths from it.

I believe this configuration file was created by d-i, right? So a
default sarge system will have an incorrect configuration. I think
grub's postinst should automatically correct the config file
then. Forcing users to modify configuration files they haven't touched
before is not very user-friendly. Note that kernel-img.conf is not a
conffile and does not belong to a particular package.

Oh, and BTW, README.Debian still has the wrong instructions regarding
the path to update-grub.
