I've applied an adapted version of these patches. "placeholder" part is rejected. So is ignoring of symlinks as symlinks may be important. As for -syms-, it's probably too intrusive to consider all files with -syms- to be uninteresting. So I'd recommend tweaking the pattern on xen line.

No. I didnt see this discussion. xen by default install few files

xen-syms-* is stripped upu symbols. So i think that xen-syms and symlinks shouldnt be added to menu list

It is my understanding that that Xen patch (removing 'placeholder') actively breaks at least some versions. Did you look at the history to see why that was added, and follow up the mailing list discussions at the time?

What are "xen syms", and why are they in /etc/grub.d/?
