Feedback on the grub2-themes-ubuntustudio package in NEW:
 - please review the output of 'lintian -I *changes' on packages.  In particular, in this case:
W: grub2-themes-ubuntustudio source: newer-standards-version 4.3.0 (current is 4.2.1)
   (there should be no reason for an out-of-date standards version on a completely new package)
 - why is src/grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate.svg present in the source? this is obviously not even the right package name.
 - debian/copyright includes a lot of redundancy.  Files: *, Files: debian/*, and Files: theme.txt all have the same copyright and license; there is no reason for separate stanzas vs. a single glob. (I realize this is inherited from the grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate source package, but that is not the package I'm currently reviewing in the NEW queue, this one is.)
 - I don't know what the debian/post{inst,rm} scripts here are supposed to do - they are not inherited from the ubuntu-mate theme package, and there is nothing in the packaging which contains integration that would change the grub theme selection.  I also see that you are calling update-grub2; but this is not the preferred name for the command, you should be invoking it as 'update-grub'.  Furthermore, since the package depends on grub-common, I don't think there's any reason for guarding the update-grub call with a 'which' check for the command.

Since this last point is a potential integration issue, and we are past
FF, I am going to reject the package currently in the NEW queue.  Once
this is resolved, I can either sponsor a new upload or rescue the
previous package from the rejected queue as appropriate.
