+Description: Bail out if trying to run grub-mkconfig during upgrade to 2.00
+ Since files in /etc/grub.d/ are conffiles, they are not put in place until
+ grub-common is configured, meaning that they may be out of sync with the
+ parts of grub-mkconfig that reside in /usr/.  In GRUB 1.99,
+ /etc/grub.d/00_header contained a reference to ${GRUB_PREFIX}/video.lst.
+ This and other code from 1.99 breaks with 2.00's grub-mkconfig.  Deferring
+ this to when grub-PLATFORM.postinst eventually runs is safe and avoids this
+ problem.
