Hello,

Talking with Colin at #debian-boot we found some possible corner cases
and then we end up doing some more changes. Please give this one a
final test so I can upload it.

Does NOT work ANY MORE:

With /boot:
$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
ls: cannot access /media/Vista/Boot
boot: No such file or directory
/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux

Without /boot:
$ LANG=C sudo os-prober
/dev/sda1:Windows Vista (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux
