GRUB:Debian menu
Hi,
After installation instead of Devuan GRUB menu I see Debian GRUB menu.
I use devuan_jessie_1.0.0-beta_amd64_NETINST.iso to install Devuan. During installation I choose pseudo graphic install option and option "Polish" everywhere it is possible (language, keyboard, mirror). I use LVM with separated partitions. I install only basic system.

Made the issue confidential
-
When I change hostname at instalation form 'devuan-jessie' to 'devuan' then GRUB menu entry contain Devuan instead Debian.

interesting, maybe you nailed the bug. It may be as simple as making the hostname to be only 'devuan' in the installer? @CenturionDan you definitely know more here, I'm definitely not sure of this assumption

mentioned in issue base-files#21 (closed)
-
why does grub depend on the hostname??
I'm planning on repackaging grub anyway so will probably fix it properly there....

Daniel: I tested this issue again and I can reproduce issue but two days before maybe I change hostname and tasksel checkboxes simultaneously. Today I tested it again - I installed Devuan twice. I checked "en" locale, "devuan" hostname, "auto.mirror.devuan.org", "lvm" with separate partition and on Software selection stage:
- unchecked all checkbox - effect: Debian GRUB
- left selected "SSH server" and "standard system utilities" - effect: Devuan GRUB.

I suppose it is because during installation base system files are installed before tasksel (from iso image) and if it is selected in tasksel after software selection (form devuan repo) - in second case some package overwrite iso package.
