Because of various reasons, I am using grub-legacy, not grub2.
Again, for various reasons, I still need grub-common from grub2.

So, my current installation is:

grub-common 1.98+20100804
grub-legacy 0.97-63

As far as I understand, this is perfectly valid and supported combination,
so I have no intention to change this.

Now, the upstream source (which I have checked out with bzr) is not
Debianized,
and I am not familiar with the grub build system, so I am not able to build
and install grub-common only, without messing up my (somewhat fragile)
configuration.

So, the short answer is that no, I can not test the upstream source without
your help.  If you can help me get a Debianized version of it, than I
can do it.

Thank you.
