the default grub config has a quirk of using the syslinux splash when
present, which as a sidenote i believe is because only the syslinux script
has the code for converting an SVG (i've not researched to confirm).
the problem is that the default splash is such, with the text listing
package versions used, that this overlaps with the menu title in grub.
i've tweaked the "built on" and package details text to reduce its size
(bumped the line-height up slightly though) to avoid the overlap.
this was a pain in the *** to get done. inkscape likes to crash at the
slightest little thing like clicking on interface controls; each time it
saves it seems to swap a bunch of stuff in the file which can make a
hugely messy diff, i had to save, close, open, change, undo, and save
again, just to get a sain diff; and numerous times testing different sizes
and such in actual builds (rather than separate conversions) some of the
package detail lines would for some unknown reason decide to end up on the
same line as another, wth...
anyway, i've finally managed to get a new revision successfully created
and it seems bug free wrt. that same line issue to me, both converting
outside of live-build (in my sid host), and within a buster build. the size
of the text changed seems closer to the size of the actual menu entries
(there's no need for it to be bigger), and now is nicely clear of the menu
title.
