My understanding is that the result from this discussion is this commit:
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/grub/+git/ubuntu/commit/?id=533c36f6
I have no objection to that measure, but as someone who always have
multiple installs in different partitions, I find that the information
to users of new installs leaves a bit to be desired.
I see this message:
> Warning: os-prober will not be executed to detect other bootable

Maybe I'm stupid, but TBH — and even if I'm aware of the upstream change
— I don't understand which documentation it talks about. If others agree
that it's not crystal clear, maybe we could improve the message a little?
