"single" -> "recovery" when friendly-recovery is installed
If configured with --enable-ubuntu-recovery, also set nomodeset for
recovery mode, and disable 'set gfxpayload=keep' even if the system
normally supports it. See

Fall back to non-EFI if booted using EFI but -efi is missing
It may be possible, particularly in recovery situations, to be booted
using EFI on x86 when only the i386-pc target is installed, or on ARM
when only the arm-uboot target is installed. There's nothing actually
stopping us installing i386-pc or arm-uboot from an EFI environment, and
it's better than returning a confusing error.

Restore grub-mkdevicemap
This is kind of a mess, requiring lots of OS-specific code to iterate
over all possible devices. However, we use it in a number of scripts to
discover devices and reimplementing those in terms of something else
would be very complicated.

Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images
Improve prepare_grub_to_access_device to emit appropriate commands for
such filesystems, and ignore them in Linux grub.d scripts.
This is needed for Ubuntu's Wubi installation method.
This patch isn't inherently Debian/Ubuntu-specific. losetup and
/proc/mounts are Linux-specific, though, so we might need to refine this
before sending it upstream. The changes to the Linux grub.d scripts
might be better handled by integrating 10_lupin properly instead.

Disable gfxpayload=keep by default
Setting gfxpayload=keep has been known to cause efifb to be
inappropriately enabled. In any case, with the current Linux kernel the
result of this option is that early kernelspace will be unable to print
anything to the console, so (for example) if boot fails and you end up
dumped to an initramfs prompt, you won't be able to see anything on the
screen. As such it shouldn't be enabled by default in Debian, no matter
what kernel options are enabled.
gfxpayload=keep is a good idea but rather ahead of its time ...
