[Bug 458079] [NEW] /boot/grub or ... desktop-base required in 05_debian_theme path?

[drs305]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

When using a folder other than the defaults, the splash image location
is not imported into grub.cfg unless either the "/boot/grub" OR
"/usr/share/images/desktop-base" folder is also present in
/etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme:

Line 16 approximately:
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} ; do

This will not import my images into grub.cfg unless I add one of the two
folders above. They don't have to be in the assigned order, but at least
one of them must be present in the line for the script to import an
image from any other location:

WORKS
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/usr/share/images/grub,/boot/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do

WON'T WORK
  for i in {/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do

Perhaps the script is written that way for a purpose but I see no reason
to have such a constraint on the location of the splash images.

Thanks for a great GRUB 2 product!
