Mostly LGTM (it was the approach I suggested, after all) -- just one

I guess this could be changed to be:
if String.is_prefix grub_config "/boot/efi/EFI/" then
g#aug_transform "grub" grub_config
so even if we keep it around for a while, it will work fine also for
other distros than RH-based.
I agree, and not only for RH-based, ubuntu/debian and suse also have
such config paths. Although it's just an interim patch :)
But there is another point, we added a search for grub.conf/menu.lst in
/boot dir. This means that in some rare cases we can find the grub.conf
in non-standard locations(that will not be added to augeas). Can we
somehow handle the error aug_transform? Because if we could know that
augeas already contains the config path, it would simplify the issue.
Thanks,
