1040 - Automatically call linuxefi from linux if secure boot is enabled and
1041 the kernel is signed, to hand over to the kernel without calling

1701 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
1702 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
1703 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
1704 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1705 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
1706 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
1707 using the diverted grub-install.
1708 - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount. This can be used by
1709 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
1710 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
1711 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1712 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1713 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1715 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1716 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1717 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1718 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1719 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1720 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1722 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1723 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1725 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1726 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1727 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
1728 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
1729 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
1730 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1731 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1732 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1733 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1734 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1735 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1736 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1737 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1738 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1739 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1740 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1741 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1742 that in grub-common.
1743 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1744 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1745 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.

2101 but was often confusing.
2102 - Basic btrfs detection/UUID support (but no file reading yet).
2103 - bash-completion for utilities.
2104 - If a device is listed in device.map, always assume that it is
2105 BIOS-visible rather than using extra layers such as LVM or RAID.
2106 - Add grub-mknetdir script (closes: #550658).
2107 - Remove deprecated "root" command.
2108 - Handle RAID devices containing virtio components.
2109 - GRUB Legacy configuration file support (via grub-menulst2cfg).

2111 - Check generated grub.cfg for syntax errors before saving.
2112 - Pause execution for at most ten seconds if any errors are displayed,
2113 so that the user has a chance to see them.
2115 - Write embedding zone using Reed-Solomon, so that it's robust against
2116 being partially overwritten (closes: #550702, #591416, #593347).
2117 - GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY and GRUB_DISABLE_NETBSD_RECOVERY merged
2118 into a single GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY variable.
2119 - Fix loader memory allocation failure (closes: #551627).

2167 * Use semicolons rather than commas to separate size from model in debconf
2168 disk and partition descriptions; commas are too easily confused with the
