Please don't do this. Instead, copy the files to /boot/grub first.
If you use /share/grub/* directly, then next time you upgrade your
GRUB installation via apt or dpkg, you'll silently break your
configuration (by deleting the old files), so that when your disk
fills enough, you won't be able to boot from it.
This might be fixed in the future, but right now keeping copies in
/boot/grub, and manually upgrading and reinstalling GRUB is the only
way to ensure consistency.
