It seems that in Grub there is always some reason for the things :-)

In the ChangeLog from Grub (not Grub2) I can read:
--------
1999-03-13  Gordon Matzigkeit  <address@hidden>

[...]

        * shared_src/shared.h (KEY_DELETE): Rename to KEY_DC, for
        compatibility with curses.
        (KEY_INSERT): Rename to KEY_IC.
        (KEY_PGDN): Rename to KEY_NPAGE.
        (KEY_PGUP): Rename to KEY_PPAGE.
--------

These names are still valid in libncurses5.

So, by the moment, I will send a patch for only changing the values.

Cheers,
