conflicting files in grub-common and grub-yeeloong

[Karl Goetz]

Hi all,

I don't see grub on mipsel [1], so I'm not sure if this counts as a
bug. if it does Im happy to file it. I took grub 1.98 from sid, rebuilt
it in a lenny pbuilder (disabling grub-extras and removing the
CC=gcc4.4 hard coding). I don't see anything obvious in the rules file,
so I thought I'd ask here.

It looks like the entire /usr/lib/grub/mips-yeeloong/ directory gets
overwritten (there is certainly several dozen files involved). perhaps
this shouldn't be in -common at all?

thanks,
kk

(sorry about the wrapping)
