Phil,

Yes, I am the same person.  I've worked closely with drs305 in the past
and know that he has done a great deal of work on documenting Grub2 (he
basically wrote the wiki page himself [1]).  Official documentation [2]
is written using Docbook XML - what you see on the web is an HTML export
from the docbook source, and is not a wiki.  The patch that drs305
posted is not in Docbook format and would need to be converted if it
were to be applied.  The changes I committed to the Lucid branch explain
how to use a graphical program for modifying the settings in question,
which is preferable (where possible) to having a user edit configuration
files.

As I mentioned in my previous comment, if you would like to help us
provide a minimal patch for Karmic, we can do the SRU process (pending
approval from the SRU team).  We value any contributions from the
community, and are happy to review patches that users submit.

Please understand that we have limited resources and are volunteering
our time here just like you are.  We do our best to stay on top of the
workload.

I hope that helps address your concerns and clarify things for you.
Cheers.
