Well, GRUB defaults to 640x480...

        $ grep GFXMODE /etc/default/grub
        #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
        $ grep GFXMODE /etc/grub.d/00_header
        if [ "x${GRUB_GFXMODE}" = "x" ] ; then GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 ; fi
          set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}
        $

... and most background images also seem to be 640x480:

Yes, but the upstream authors probably considered that when they wrote
00_header and used `-m stretch'.

However, it's not really that important after all. I just thought it
would be more consistent to use `-m stretch' both in 00_header and
05_debian_theme...
