Good that I already told recently others how to compile it :)

You may need a deb-src line in /etc/apt/sources.list for this apt-get
call:
apt-get build-depends grub2
and you need the subversion package installed.

svn co svn://svn.sv.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2
cd grub2
patch -p1 < /path/to/ieee1275_mkdevicemap.diff
svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-grub/grub2/trunk/debian
export DH_ALWAYS_EXCLUDE=".svn"
dpkg-buildpackage -b

If you still have problems compiling this then please feel free to send
me a mail in private (i.e. no CC @bugs.debian.org)
