1226 lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it

1667 interactions with quilt, etc.).
1668 * Update branch_embed-sectors.patch:

1670 * Add debian/README.source (from quilt).
1671 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
1672 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
1673 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1674 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
1675 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
1676 using the diverted grub-install.
1677 - Add grub-mount-udeb, containing just grub-mount. This can be used by
1678 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
1679 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
1680 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1681 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1682 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1684 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1685 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1686 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1687 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1688 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1689 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1691 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1692 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1694 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1695 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1696 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).
1697 * Drop conflict on an ancient (pre-lenny/hardy) version of desktop-base.
1698 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
1699 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1700 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1701 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1702 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1703 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1704 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1705 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1706 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1707 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1708 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1709 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1710 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1711 that in grub-common.
1712 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1713 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1714 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.

2506 * On Linux, if /boot/grub/device.map exists on upgrade to this version,
2507 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
2508 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note

2510 advising people to check custom boot menu entries and update them if
2511 necessary (closes: #583271).
2512 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
2513 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
2514 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
2515 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
2516 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
2517 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
2518 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
2519 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
2520 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
2522 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt

2545 disregard the fact that /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still
2546 exist (closes: #550477).
2547 * Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
2548 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
2549 files are missing when upgrading.
2550 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
2551 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
2552 the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that
2553 not doing so may render the system unbootable (closes: #586143). Thanks
2554 to Sedat Dilek for helping to narrow down this bug.
2555 * Leaving grub-pc/install_devices empty makes sense in some situations,

2557 selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
2558 simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is

2626 configuration file generation using grub-mkconfig which documents the
2627 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
2631 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
2632 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
2633 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
2634 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
2635 necessarily update it.
2636 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
2637 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
2638 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
2639 autogenerated outputs.
2640 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
2641 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
2642 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
2643 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
2644 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
2645 build-dependency for other packages that need to build GRUB images into
2646 installation media etc., without having to build-depend on grub-pc which
2647 isn't coinstallable with other platform variants and does invasive
