[Bug 537123] Re: package linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic 2.6.31-20.57 failed to install/upgrade: /etc/grub.d/README executable bit set

[Axel Beckert]

Hrm, I'd like to reopen this bug as I can reproduce this issue on Ubuntu
Natty (grub-common 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3) as well as Debian Sid (grub-
common 1.99-11).

Problem seems that grub_file_is_not_garbage checks just for the file
name ("README*"), but $1 contains the full path. So the line

      README*)  return 1 ;; # documentation

should rather say something like:

      */README*)  return 1 ;; # documentation

This fixes the issue for me.
