Package: grub-efi-amd64,linux-image-amd64
Severity: important

Dear maintainers,

I had kernel 6.12.27 running.  I just upgraded to kernel 6.12.32.  My system
then did not boot by itself because the grub config still contained entries
for 6.12.31, which had been autoremoved.  I could recover by booting the old
6.12.27 and then doing a manual 'update-grub'.

I see this in my /var/log/apt/term.log:

This means the file was removed somehow.  dpkg does not restore removed
conffiles if not forced, so a plain reinstall will not help.  After
trixie we will move those files away, so this should then be fixed for
good then.

Anyway, there is no bug in either grub or linux, just normal conffile
handling.  Closing.
