Bug#589902: grub-efi-ia32: please support filesystems other than FAT

Package: grub-efi-ia32
Version: 1.98+20100720-1
Severity: normal
grub-install fails if the filesystem on which it is installed is not FAT:
if test "x$fs_module" = xfat; then :; else
echo "${grubdir} doesn't look like an EFI partition." 1>&2
exit 1
fi
I have grub installed on an HFS+ partition on my Mac, because I don't want
to use the fragile FAT filesystem for the bootloader. This works fine, and
I can read and write the partition in Linux and OS X. The EFI spec states
that the boot partition should be FAT. However, upstream told me that the EFI
support in grub-install is mainly targets Mac support, and Macs can also
boot from HFS(+) partitions. It would be nice to have support for this in
grub-install.
Regards,
Tino
