Bug#735960: grub-efi-amd64: Please apply patch to sanitize path needed for Asus U38N

[Paul Menzel]

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.00-22
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

Dear Debian folks,


on the Asus U38N using `grub-install` succeeds, but the rebooting fails,
because UEFI on that laptop has a bug and provides wrong path names I
believe. Vladimir created a patch [1] right away and applied it
upstream. It would be great if you could backport it to the Debian
package so it works until 2.02 arrives.


Thanks,

Paul
