I uploaded this despite the gdfl thing because stretch is no better.
Really that should be dealt with upstream.  For now I think it would
be possible to do some violence to the offending file (which is a diff
to an ancient version of grub).

I hadn't appreciated that the shim thing would cause a REJECTion.
That clearly needs to be overridden.

Hans, can you delete the parts of the 00cvs that edit the texinfo
document, and provide a filtered upstream git branch for us to make
the git tarball from ?  We can then rebase onto that.

The patch you use to delete that can probably go upstream.  Or at
least, we can try.

Ian.
