Guido,

I'd like to ask you to take a look at grub2 first. If it proves to be
difficult to do, I can even push Robert to make an exception for this
patch (as we did for e2fsprogs change) however, from d-i POV, the most
difficult thing isn't grub but Parted. I want to push 1.8 there and
your change need to go there first.

I do understand your frustation that it has been available for long
time but as we ignored it, you'd also pinged us again. To say the
truth, I forgot this grub bug.
