Details:

10_linux calls make_system_path_relative_to_its_root with the directory of
the vmlinuz file (dirname) instead of the filename itself.

The problem is that grub-mkrelpath (which is called by
make_system_path_relative_to_its_root to do the real work) doesn't work with
the boot directory itself (and my system doesn't boot without the fix):

#/usr/bin/grub-mkrelpath /boot
/boot

but

#/usr/bin/grub-mkrelpath /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-amd64
/vmlinuz-2.6.31-1-amd64

So 10-linux needs to be changed to use the full kernel filename instead of
its dirname when calling "make_system_path_relative_to_its_root"

A small patch is attached.
