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)

Changed the changelong to be more descriptive of the change

Parameterization of recordfail timeout (LP: #669481)

142. By Dimitri John Ledkov on 2012-05-15

Switch to backwards compatible ${} syntax for grub.cfg (LP: #978464)

141. By Colin Watson on 2012-04-17

Backport several upstream EFI device discovery patches to fix boot
failures (LP: #975061).

[ Andy Whitcroft ]
* Only supply vt.handoff=7 when we are using gfxpayload=keep. Do this
  even when the command line is modified before execution. (LP: #942846)

[ Colin Watson ]
* Don't crash on inaccessible loop device backing paths (LP: #938724).

* 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.
  - In recovery mode, add nomodeset to the Linux kernel arguments, and
    remove the 'set gfxpayload=keep' command.
  - Skip Windows os-prober entries on Wubi systems, and suppress the menu
    by default if those are the only other-OS entries.
  - Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices.
  - Replace 'single' by 'recovery' when friendly-recovery is installed.
  - Use qemu -no-kvm in tests for now to work around LP #947597.
  - Disable cursor as early as possible in grub_main.
