Yes, it is :)
I'm not the person (nor this is the place) to answer about that, but note that
my proposal for update-grub2 doesn't keep state from former config files.
That's a very awkward (and as you already found out, very error-prone) that I
wouldn't recommend having at all.
In my proposed framework, if you want to customise the configuration you have to
do it at the source (in /etc/update-grub.d or whatever it'll be called).
