[Bug 1987386] Re: Please merge os-prober 1.81 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Olivier Gayot]

Note about the following dropped change:

    - Sort detected kernels by modification time, if possible.

The new version sorts the kernels by reverse natural number order ; instead of modification time.
There is no guarantee that the order will be preserved after upgrading os-prober. However, tor the most common scenarios, it should have no impact. I tested with the data from the original LP bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/1317153 and the kernels are listed in the expected order.

Relying on the name of the file (and therefore parsing the version
number) feels more solid than relying on the modification time.
