Bug#595904: grub-pc: bpo request for grub2 with version from debian testing

[Jelle de Jong]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1~bpo50+1
Severity: wishlist


I would like to request a new bpo release for the grub2 packages since bpo is
now on debian.org i am using the reportbug tool.

I need the version from debian tesing when i want support for lvm with mdadm and ext4. The version from
debian testing pulls in a lot of extra dependencies from testing, making it inpossible to maintain
a clean debian stable system with grub2 from debian testing. The grub2 version in debian testing I 
too old to have lvm, mdamd and ext4 support. 

Could somebody helpout and create a new version of the bpo packages for grub2?
