[Bug 1063929] [NEW] menu items triggering sub-menus could do with a differentiating marker

[Andy Whitcroft]

Public bug reported:

We have two grub2 menu items for Ubuntu.  'Ubuntu' which simply boots
Ubuntu, and 'Ubuntu advanced options' which is actually a submenu.  It
is hard to tell that the first will boot you immediatly and the second
is a sub-menu.  It might be nice to mark the menus as such, perhaps as
simply as appending a ' >' to their descriptions.
