[Bug 794447] [NEW] update-grub2 needs to *not* ignore -ec2 kernels

[Ilmari Vacklin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

In bug #671097, it was determined that update-grub2 needs to ignore -ec2
kernels. Now that Xen can boot from a grub2 configuration with pygrub,
this behaviour is actively harmful. As it is, our Ubuntu 10.04 VMs can
not manage their own kernels under Debian 6 Xen. Can #671097 be
reverted, or an override flag added to the blacklisting mechanism in
/etc/grub.d/10_linux?
