[Bug 1066156] Re: update-grub generates "insmod part_gpt" four times

[Rarylson Freitas]

At first, the GRUB `insmod` command is idempotent. It is, loading many
times the same module is not a great problem. Moreover, fixing this bug
could increase complexity, and "complexity often leads to bugs".

However, some people may thing a smaller generated GRUB config file
easier to debug and understand.

I do not have opinion about the better approach (keep it this way or
fixes it). But if someone is looking for a fix or a workaround, one is
found at this bug report in RedHat Bugzilla:
