Description: Upgrading Grub2 leaves you without a grub.cfg file. The problem appears to be that the PKGBUILD makes use of a backup array for grub.cfg when the package itself does not provide this file. The file is generated by grub-mkconfig in the install scriptlet if and only if /boot/grub/grub.cfg if not already found. It would seem that the backup array is handled after the install scriptlet is parsed so the install scriptlet finds the config file and shortly thereafter, it's moved.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Install Grub
2) Create /boot/grub/grub.cfg
3) Upgrade Grub
This task depends upon
