Package: debian-cd
Version: 3.1.35
Severity: normal

Hello,

since grub version 2.06-3 entered sid, the UEFI menu of the daily netinst image
shows a black text on the dark blue background for the selected boot item.

https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/sid_d-i/arch-latest/amd64/iso-
cd/
debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso

This can be seen e.g. at
https://openqa.debian.net/tests/61507#step/bootwalk_0/2

It appears that the grub theme is active now (which was not the case for e.g.
the netinst-11 images).

As a local hack, I've replaced:
selected_item_color = "black"
with
selected_item_color = "white"

in boot/grub/theme/1 inside my netinst image.

The original file that is used is:
https://sources.debian.org/src/debian-cd/3.1.35/data/bullseye/grub-
theme.in/?hl=58#L58

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
