Hmm, another question is if this package actually should _depend_
on grub. After all, it's just a collection of xpm images. Of
course they live in a location useful for the use with grub
and they have the right size for use with grub, but they could
easily used for other purposes ...

So I think the package should either be Arch: i386 hurd-i386
or drop its dependency on grub (I think the correct relation
would be Enhances, btw).

Gruesse,
