Hello,
At short glance the respective changes in update-grub seem to be like
this:
-echo -n "Searching for splash image... "
+echo -n "Searching for splash image ... " >&2
i.e. the newer update-grub is simply sending to stderr instead of
stdout.
This afaik could be solved be redirecting stdout to stderr in the
*invocation* of update-grub in the kernel's maintainerscripts.
But I am sure I am missing something important. ;-)
