[Bug 299344] [NEW] grub2 doesn't give/have version info.

[Shirish Agarwal]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

Hi all, 
 If I use grub --version I get the following :-

$grub --version

grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)

I ams shown the various utilities which grub2 has but can't find version
info.

~$ grub-
grub-editenv      grub-install      grub-mkimage      grub-probe        grub-setup        
grub-emu          grub-mkdevicemap  grub-mkrescue     grub-set-default  

Or even tried this :-

 grub2 --version
bash: grub2: command not found


The only way I am able to find version info. is using dpkg -l grub2$ dpkg -l grub2

This IMHO is a regression which should be fixed.
