I can confirm this. It was the main reason, why i still stay with grub-legacy.

Additionally to that, my very own grub configuration with special settings 
(including a self created starting image) was not overtaken.

So it would be nice, if the maintainers might include an option or script, 
which is importing the settings of  grub-legacy. I also have to friends, which 
are also using debian, but who are not as experienced as me. Would be nice, if 
this importing would be as easy as possible.

Best regards
