I'm reassigning this to debian-cd, because:
- grub2 upstream has deleted support for grayscale PNGs. I don't
think this is coming back.
- the menu on the installer ISOs uses a grayscale image to highlight
the currently selected menu entry. As demonstrated in the bug
report, this is now broken.
While technically grub2 broke this, I'd think the way forward is for
debian-cd to convert the highlight PNGs to non-grayscale.
FTR:
debian-cd/data/bookworm/hl_c.png: PNG image data, 20 x 20, 8-bit grayscale, non-interlaced
Hope this helps in resolving the issue,
Chris
