Bug Description

Binary package hint: grub2

When migrating an existing GRUB menu.lst, Grub2 will convert all Ubuntu XXXXX strings to read as Debian GNU/Linux XXXXX instead. It would be much more convenient if these strings were instead created from the LSB toolset (for both distros).

Thanks for the fix. If you haven't already, please forward the patch to Debian also, it should fit in there as well.

Yeah I sent it to them, but they said it will be some time until it's applied.
