I hope you've filed separate bugs about these? We need to maintain
backward compatibility.

We won't be upgrading anyone automatically to GRUB 2 in Karmic; it'll
only be for fresh installs. We have yet to decide what to do for
subsequent releases.

I would appreciate it if every bug on grub2 didn't turn into a
philosophical discussion. :-) This bug is about a single technical
fault, not general upgrade matters.
