Package: memtest86+
Version: 1.65-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

grub2 has switched to a new, modular update-grub implementation.  3rd party
applications intended to be used with grub are now expected to provide their
own module for grub.cfg (equivalent to menu.lst) configuration.

Attached script can be deployed in /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+ to add a boot
entry for your program.

Note: Running update-grub automaticaly is garanteed to be safe.  I suggest
you take advantage of this and run update-grub in postinst, if found (but
please do not make assumptions about its location).

Btw, also note that /etc/grub.d is an upstream feature.  If you want, you can
send these scripts to your upstream, too.
