Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: normal


When grub-pc is installed over grub legacy and the option to chainload
grub2 from grub legacy is used the menu.lst is genereated only then and
no update is possible anymore.

update-grub is completely taken over by grub2 and neither update-grub
nor update-grub2 updates the menu.lst
