You're missing kFreeBSD and Hurd support here, FWIW. However, I don't think this should require changing grub2 at all. Nowadays we support other packages dropping files into /etc/default/grub.d/*.cfg, which are read after /etc/default/grub and can modify the various variables that are exported by grub-mkconfig to /etc/grub.d/ scripts. Could you investigate taking this approach in init-select instead? In this case, I think that would be better than adding another entry to grub2's already large and unwieldy patch stack.
