9 * Use dpkg-buildflags at least for the host binaries.
10 * Simplify Build-Depends.
13 * Go back to forcing a particular compiler version, but this time gcc-5.
14 The reason for this is that new compiler versions often make slight
15 changes to the size of compiled code which break delicate parts of GRUB,

1328 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.

1331 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr

1334 os-prober and other parts of d-i.

1336 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1337 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1338 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1340 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1341 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1342 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1343 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1344 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1345 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1347 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1348 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1350 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1351 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1352 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).

1355 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1356 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1357 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1358 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1359 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1360 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1361 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1362 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1363 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1364 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1365 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1366 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1367 that in grub-common.
1368 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1369 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1370 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.
