As indicated in the PKGBUILD a script to create a grub.cfg config is planned (or the included one will be fixed). Changed priority to low...for now users should be able to create one themselves with help of the grub2 wiki page. I'll make sure it is fixed before grub2 replaces grub in core, maybe sooner if I have time.

An addition
grub-mkconfig generate non-understended by arch kernel root partition parameter

/boot/vmlinuz root=UUID=blabla

Need some patch for initrd or for /etc/grub.d/10_linux (for example, use root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/blabla naming instead root=UUID=blabla in this script)
