NOTE: the location might change depending the version you are using and file might be not found as well

• /boot/grub/grub.cfg
• /etc/grub.d/00_header
• /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme
• /usr/share/yelp/ (all files & all sub folders)
• /var/run/motd
• /etc/motd
• /etc/update-motd.d/10-help-text
• /lib/init/rw/motd
• /etc/gdm/failsafeXinit
• /etc/samba/smb.conf
• /usr/share/gnome-about/gnome-version.xml
• /usr/share/pyshared/usbcreator/install.py
• /usr/bin/grub-mkrescue
• /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/config.h
• /usr/sbin/grub-install.real
• /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig
• /usr/sbin/grub-mknetdir
• /usr/sbin/grub-reboot
