I picked this name for historical reasons, since it was aimed at replacing a Debian-specific script that performed the same functionality. Calling it "update-grub" has a big advantage: for many GRUB Legacy users, when seeing a script called like this they will instantly know what it does. That aside, I agree the name is quite unfortunate. What would you think of postponing this untill GRUB Legacy has been replaced? It's already a big leap to migrate from GRUB Legacy to GRUB 2; I suggest we don't make it bigger yet. -- Robert Millan <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call… if you are unable to speak?
