[Bug 1993066] [NEW] 10_linux_zfs produces incorrect grub.cfg when a zfs backup of another encrypted Zsys install exists

[Jonathan Zhang]

Public bug reported:

10_linux_zfs produces incorrect grub.cfg when a zfs backup of another
encrypted Zsys install exists.

I backed up my other Ubuntu PC via zfs send/recv a snapshot of rpool,
which was stored on another zpool on my main PC. As a ZFS backup, it
contained the complete structure of a Zsys install.

Subsequently, update-grub produced a grub.cfg with no entries.

After destroying the backup, update-grub produced normal results with
kernels being properly detected.

Versions:

Up-to-date Ubuntu 22.04.1
grub-common:
  Installed: 2.06-2ubuntu7

Output when running update-grub with the backup residing on another zpool:
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub:
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub'
Sourcing file `/etc/default/grub.d/init-select.cfg'
