Hello Stefan,
The rest of the team are out of the office relaxing in the Northern

it gets cooler and they start to feel guilty about leaving me alone.

It is not a matter of whether we approve of any software but whether it has
been packaged for Debian and is in our archives; it doesn't look like
grub-customizer is. There are choices on Debian on what to do about that
because we do not wish to restrict what you use. However, it becomes a little
involved so, as a newcomer. you might want to take the following advice.
We would suggest you do a search with "grub-installer ubuntu PPA" on the
internet. Then boot into Ubuntu and enable the PPA for grub-installer in
/etc/apt/sources.list. See how it behaves and whether it is worth
having.
