In case you're interested in prior art:

* kiwi's code: https://github.com/OSInside/kiwi/blob/master/kiwi/bootloader/config/grub2.py
* drakiso's code:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/build-system/drakiso/tree/lib/MGA/DrakISO/BuildBoot.pm

The two above are from openSUSE and Mageia respectively, who have
both made this change for their distributions.
