--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 i installed augeas in a debian machine. i changed the last line of the
 grub lense file from:

 {{{
 let xfm = transform lns (incl "/etc/grub.conf")
 }}}

 to

 {{{
 let xfm = transform lns (incl "/boot/grub/menu.lst")
 }}}

 in order to reflect the file location on debian. in some machines augeas
 parse the file in order it fails. this is augtool output on a failure:

 {{{
 augtool> ls /augeas/files/boot/grub/menu.lst
 path = /files/boot/grub/menu.lst
 lens/ = (none)
 error/ = parse_failed
 augtool> ls /augeas/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/lens/
 info = /usr/share/augeas/lenses/grub.aug:70.14-.46
 id = 0x815e0d8
 augtool> ls /augeas/files/boot/grub/menu.lst/error/
 pos = 3608
 message = Short iteration
 }}}

 i attached the menu.lst file.
