Just wondering, why has the grub2-common package two update-grub files?

One is just a symlink to the other
ls -asl update-grub*
4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 64 jun 23 12:35 update-grub
0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 jun 23 14:47 update-grub2 -> update-grub

If there are programs depending on update-grub2, a small transition
might have been a nicer solution.

Sorry, what's a "small transition" and what does it solve?

Cheers,
David.


I think if there is a program depending on /usr/sbin/update-grub2 it shouldn't be difficult to update that program to /usr/sbin/update-grub. I known a symlink isn't "free-space-eating", but it looks more polished.
