Oh c'mon. The bug has been sitting around in the BTS for half a year now
without a comment and that's the best we can make out of it? I'd be
happy to forward port things to grub2 but I'd really like to have
this working in grub first, since this is what d-i uses at this point
and once we can bootstrap out of lenny switching back between grub2 and
grub for testing is much easier.
