/boot/grub or ... desktop-base required in 05_debian_theme path?

Binary package hint: grub2

When using a folder other than the defaults, the splash image location is not imported into grub.cfg unless either the "/boot/grub" OR "/usr/share/images/desktop-base" folder is also present in /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme:

Line 16 approximately:
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga} ; do

This will not import my images into grub.cfg unless I add one of the two folders above. They don't have to be in the assigned order, but at least one of them must be present in the line for the script to import an image from any other location:

WORKS
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do
  for i in {/usr/share/images/grub,/boot/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do

WON'T WORK
  for i in {/usr/share/images/grub}/earth.640x480.{png,tga} ; do

Perhaps the script is written that way for a purpose but I see no reason to have such a constraint on the location of the splash images.

Thanks for a great GRUB 2 product!
