Dear GRUB maintainers,

Now that squeeze is released, I'd like to clean up some code. Please
include the attached patch in the next upload. Detailed description
follows:

* 05_debian_theme:
  - Small cosmetic fix.
  - Make the file extension code case insensitive (addresses: #611123).
  - Remove the code deleting obsolete background images from /boot/grub.
    It was added on 2010-12-18 and is included in squeeze, so we can
    assume that almost everybody had their /boot/grub/ cleaned up
    meanwhile. Remove the code as it can cause problems under some 
    circumstances (closes: #608519).
  - Simply try all files under /boot/grub/ when searching for a 
    background image instead of duplicating the list of supported file
    extensions.

* postinst:
  - Simplify the code which was formerly responsible for copying the
    background image to /boot/grub/. I should have done this when fixing
    #605705 but I wanted to keep the patch small.

* postrm:
  - Remove the code which deletes moreblue-orbit-grub.png from
    /boot/grub/. Since the 05_debian_theme already did that (see above),
    that is not necessary any more (closes: #608519).

Best regards
