[Bug 1269992] Re: 2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

[syscon-hh]

I dont think so ! The problems with the picture is solved.

 Basic is a fresh installed trusty 'Kubuntu'.
 
 grub-version after installation was 2.00-22
 
 After the upgrade (activated proposed) grub packages 2.02~beta2-5 I got these:
 
 * an additional folder 'grub'  -> see below

Title:
  2.02~beta2 requires manual testing

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I'm syncing GRUB 2.02~beta2 from Debian experimental into trusty-
  proposed.  This requires some manual testing before we let it loose on
  trusty users in general, so this bug exists to ensure that it doesn't
  reach trusty before we're sure it's ready.
