Title:
  no easy way to change debian themes

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in grub2 package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub2

  There is no easy way to change splash-screens while booting up in grub2.
  To change default splash-screen a user needs to do the following :-

  a. Know where the splash screen images reside
  b. Know the file where the information for splash screen images is
  c. Change the information therein.

  Hence had to find the file where splash images are

  a. The files are at /usr/share/images/grub/
  b. Now edit the file /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
  specifically line 16

  from

  for i in
  {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base}/moreblue-orbit-grub.{png,tga}
  ; do

  to

  for i in
  {/boot/grub,/usr/share/images/desktop-base,/usr/share/images/grub,/usr/share/pixmaps/splash/}/gnome-splash.{png,tga}
  ; do

  Then do an update-grub

  For normal users they should not be expected to know or do invasive
  changes like this.
