Hello,

that would be great if this facility could be shared in Xen, as it would
benefit more users than just in Debian.

Currently it looks like the whole scripts are debian-specific.  I have
pushed them in a Git repository on Alioth so that you can browse them.

  http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/pv-grub-menu.lst.git;a=tree;f=debian

Among them, update-grub-legacy-ec2 is the one that creates menu.lst.  The
others are Debian-specific hooks for package installation and automatic
refreshing when a new kernel is installed.

update-grub-legacy-ec2 is derived from update-grub scripts that are also
Debian-specific.  But if they could be replaced by something more generic, that
would be great.  I guess the next step is to look at how Fedora does...

Have a nice day,
