Title:
  Recovery mode incorrect on wubi installs

Status in “lupin” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The fix from bug 889650 introduced a new bug (see final comment from
  that bug):

  Anyway, there is a slight difference still. This is the real install:
  menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-1-generic (recovery mode)' --class
  ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
          recordfail
          insmod gzio
          insmod part_msdos
          insmod ext2
          set root='(hd0,msdos8)'
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root
  02d7ccaf-7f53-4364-9ffa-2cb288f1b124
          echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-1-generic ...'
          linux /vmlinuz-3.2.0-1-generic
  root=UUID=ba591735-99eb-40da-9160-6778fe07860b ro recovery nomodeset
          echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
          initrd /initrd.img-3.2.0-1-generic
  }

  And this is the Wubi one:
  menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.2.0-1-generic (recovery mode)' --class
  ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
          set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode
          insmod part_msdos
          insmod ntfs
          set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
          search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 18B4B7BBB4B799A8
          loopback loop0 /ubuntu/disks/root.disk
          set root=(loop0)
          echo 'Loading Linux 3.2.0-1-generic ...'
          linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-1-generic root=UUID=18B4B7BBB4B799A8
  loop=/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ro recovery nomodeset
          echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
          initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-1-generic
  }

  Anyway... I was trying to boot the wubi recovery and it just kept getting
  stuck, displaying only "Loading initial ramdisk...". Nothing i did made a
  change except when I hit ESC it continued to the lightdm logon. And after
  removing "set gfxpayload=$linux_gfx_mode" it booted correctly into the
  Read-only recovery menu (which it does on the normal install).

  Looking at the scripts, 10_linux has:
    if ! ${recovery} ; then
        save_default_entry | sed -e "s/^/\t/"

        cat << EOF
   set gfxpayload=\$linux_gfx_mode
  EOF
    fi

  whereas 10_lupin has:
    if ! ${recovery} ; then
        save_default_entry | sed -e "s/^/\t/"
    fi

    cat << EOF
  set gfxpayload=\$linux_gfx_mode
  EOF

  Thanks
