Bug Description

Hi,

Please remove the grub-customizer from Jammy. The package doesn't have any reverse dependencies, and is basically broken regarding upgrades and removals. It should also be added to the sync blacklist.

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/1969353/comments/5 for more details about the brokenness of the package.

❯ reverse-depends src:grub-customizer
No reverse dependencies found

❯ reverse-depends -a source src:grub-customizer
No reverse dependencies found

Note that this is not something we want users to believe is supported. The package does not meet our quality standards.

I used this package for customizing a dual boot system, I have installed it with out any issue on jammy and on impish, its a lot easier then going in to the grub.d file itself and customizing it every single time an upgrade3 is made... so the real bug here is the REPLACEMENT of grub.d every time an upgrade is made to the system

@Beyil grub.d files are complex scripts that should not be customized but contain program logic. Modifying them from a package has no place.
