1476 configuration key for grub-mkconfig. This controls hidden-timeout
1477 handling more simply than the previous arrangements, and pressing any

2321 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.

2324 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr

2327 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
2328 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
2329 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
2330 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
2331 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
2333 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
2334 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
2335 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
2336 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
2337 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
2338 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
2340 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
2341 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
2343 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
2344 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too

2348 /etc/grub.d/* files.
2349 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
2350 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
2351 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
2352 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
2353 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
2354 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
2355 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
2356 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
2357 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
2358 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
2359 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
2360 that in grub-common.
2361 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
2362 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current

2466 * Merge from Ubuntu:
2467 - If we're upgrading and /boot/grub/core.img doesn't exist, then don't
2468 ask where to install GRUB, since it probably means we're in some kind
2469 of specialised environment such as a live USB stick (LP: #591202).
2470 - Drop the default priority of grub2/linux_cmdline to medium. We only
2471 need to ask it if we're upgrading from GRUB Legacy and found an empty
2472 kopt in menu.lst (LP: #591202).

2474 time if the first partition is not near the start of the disk (closes:
2475 #619458, LP: #691569).
