It is not a matter of whether we approve of any software but whether it has been packaged for Debian and is in our archives; it doesn't look like grub-customizer is. There are choices on Debian on what to do about that because we do not wish to restrict what you use. However, it becomes a little involved so, as a newcomer. you might want to take the following advice. We would suggest you do a search with "grub-installer ubuntu PPA" on the internet. Then boot into Ubuntu and enable the PPA for grub-installer in /etc/apt/sources.list. See how it behaves and whether it is worth having. > I'm a new open source convert!
