Parameterization of recordfail setting. This allows users to define the
default time out of GRUB when recordfail has been set. The current
setting causes hangs on headless and appliances where access to the
console is limited or prohibited. (LP: #669481)

132. By Colin Watson on 2011-10-01

Never use 'set gfxpayload=keep' in recovery mode (LP: #854967).

131. By Stéphane Graber on 2011-09-15

* Add ubuntu_recovery_nosingle.patch:
  - Replace "single" by "recovery" to trigger friendly-recovery (LP: #575469)
* Mark grub-common as breaking friendly-recovery << 0.2.13

130. By Colin Watson on 2011-09-15

Add a GRUB_MOD_LICENSE declaration to hwmatch (LP: #850202).

129. By Colin Watson on 2011-09-14

Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices (thanks, Robert Collins;
LP: #803658).

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Adjust for default Ubuntu boot options ("quiet splash").
  - Default to hiding the menu; holding down Shift at boot will show it.
  - Set a monochromatic theme and an appropriate background for Ubuntu.
  - Apply Ubuntu GRUB Legacy changes to legacy update-grub script.
  - Fix backslash-escaping in merge_debconf_into_conf.
  - Remove "GNU/Linux" from default distributor string.
  - Add crashkernel option.
  - Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
  - Allow Shift to interrupt 'sleep --interruptible'.
  - Reduce visual clutter in normal mode.
  - Remove verbose messages printed before reading configuration.
  - Suppress kernel/initrd progress messages, except in recovery mode.
  - Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
  - Don't generate device.map during grub-install or grub-mkconfig.
  - Adjust upgrade version checks for Ubuntu.
  - Suppress "GRUB loading" message unless Shift is held down.
  - Adjust versions of grub-doc and grub-legacy-doc conflicts.
  - Fix LVM/RAID probing in the absence of /boot/grub/device.map.
  - Look for .mo files in /usr/share/locale-langpack first.
  - Build-depend on qemu-kvm rather than qemu-system for grub-pc tests.
  - Check hardware support before using gfxpayload=keep.
  - Put second and subsequent Linux menu entries in a submenu.
  - Preferred resolution detection for VBE.
  - Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
  - Update default/grub.md5sum to include maverick's default md5sum.
  - Add nomodeset to Linux kernel arguments in recovery mode.
  - Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems.
* Suppress the menu by default on Wubi systems with no other-OS entries
  apart from Windows (LP: #826378).
* Always store hostdisk drive names in canonical form, fixing 'grub-probe
  --target=drive' output when device.map is absent (LP: #820500).
