[Grml] [grml2usb] Minimize the number of files in the root directory on the usb drive

Thanks for feedback, Sebastian.

We are aware of this problem and it's already tracked in our Bug
Tracking System, see http://bts.grml.org/grml/issue466

I've just marked it as a release-stopper issue so it should be fixed
with the next grml/grml2usb version.
