1778 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
1779 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
1780 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1781 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
1782 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
1783 using the diverted grub-install.

1785 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
1786 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
1787 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1788 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1789 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1791 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1792 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1793 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1794 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1795 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1796 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1798 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1799 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1801 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1802 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1803 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).

1805 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
1806 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1807 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1808 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1809 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1810 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1811 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1812 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1813 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1814 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1815 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1816 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1817 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1818 that in grub-common.
1819 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1820 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1821 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.
