[sf-lug] GRUB2 question

Am currently on the SF-LUG jit.si meeting with Bobbie S and Tom L after 
somehow getting kicked off the one with John S, Wayne, Ken S, Don, Michael 
P, others(?)

Have the "new" desktop Lenovo from Tom set up with Slackware Linux, Devuan 
GNU+Linux and Debian GNU/Linux in a triple multiboot from a single /boot
partition's grub.cfg
Am trying to determine how the grub.cfg's "--class" directive can be best 
specified for Devuan other than its default "--class debian --class 
gnu-linux --class gnu --class os"?

According to a grub support webpage 
https://support.huaweicloud.com/intl/en-us/usermanual-ims/ims_01_0324.html 
, ......"menuentry 'Ubuntu Linux, with Linux 3.13.0-24-generic' --class 
ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os " should work fine 
specifically for Ubuntu, so why shouldn't it be similar for a Devuan 
grub.cfg entry as "--class devuan --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class 
os" ??

Still doing research on this; any further input welcome :-)
