Bug#357853: grub2: Please build for powerpc

Package: grub2
Version: 1.92-2
Severity: important

GRUB2 now supports the powerpc architecture (albeit in an experimental
form).  Please could you add powerpc to the arch list, so that it builds
on powerpc?

The last time I tried it, it was still a bit flaky, but I'd like to get
powerpc testing for GRUB.

It creates some additional files (ofgrub) for booting from OpenFirmware,
but if you want any help with powerpc packaging or testing, I'll be
happy to assist, or even give access to hardware if needed.


Regards,
Roger
