Hi,


I have been traveling a lot, so I couldn't reply :-(

IMO this should also be done as part of update-grub process, because
parts of grub.cfg file generated includes changes done by users too.
Having a test case would only ensure that config snippets from GRUB
source tree are parseable.  So what we need is a grub util that checks
for correctness of grub.cfg at user site.

I am not sure how we can achieve this with current grub tools :-(
Maybe a grub-emu variant can do this parsing?
