Is there any deadline for when this fix will enter Debian?  So we can
properly close this bug with a Version: pseudo-header ;-)

Ops, I missed your advice and fixed it with grub-mkdevicemap:

As I wrote above, feel free to close this bug right now or waiting for
the fixed version to enter sid.  However, you will probably want to keep
it alive until Damyan's problem is fixed:
