1287 * Make debian/rules more explicit about when autogen.sh is run. We need
1288 to be careful that all full builds run it, since we use GRUB extras.
1289 * Merge from Ubuntu:
1290 - Handle filesystems loop-mounted on file images.
1291 - On Wubi, don't ask for an install device, but just update wubildr
1292 using the diverted grub-install.

1294 os-prober and other parts of d-i.
1295 - Artificially bump Replaces: grub-common versioning to account for
1296 grub-reboot/grub-set-default movement in Ubuntu.
1297 * Don't do a separate build pass for grub-common. It will be identical to
1298 the build for the default platform for the CPU architecture anyway, so
1300 * Build with GCC 4.5 on all architectures.
1301 * Update Lintian overrides for changes in Lintian 2.5.0~rc1.
1302 * Invert how files are split among binary packages: rather than code in
1303 debian/rules to remove files we don't want, add dh_install configuration
1304 to declare the files we do want. This means a little more repetition
1305 for platform-specific programs, but it seems less confusing and easier
1307 * Drop versioned dependencies on base-files. GPL-3 has been there for two
1308 Debian releases now, and the dependency was never upgrade-critical
1310 * Create grub2-common package containing files that are common among GRUB
1311 platform packages but that would break GRUB Legacy, or that are too
1312 confusing when coinstalled with GRUB Legacy (closes: #564167).

1314 * Move /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme to grub-common, to go with the other
1315 /etc/grub.d/* files.
1316 * Drop redundant Suggests: os-prober from several platform packages, as
1317 grub-common already Recommends: os-prober.
1318 * Create grub-<platform>-bin packages corresponding to all grub-<platform>
1319 packages (except for grub-emu). These do not automatically install the
1320 boot loader or update grub.cfg, and they install their binaries to
1321 /usr/lib/grub/<cpu>-<platform>/; this means that they can be installed
1322 in parallel, making it easier to use them to build GRUB-based disk
1323 images (e.g. d-i). The grub-<platform> packages now depend on these and
1324 include symlinks, so their behaviour will remain as before.
1325 * Make grub-emu depend on grub-common.
1326 * Make the documentation directory in most binary packages be a symlink to
1327 that in grub-common.
1328 * Drop lenny compatibility from grub2-common's dpkg/install-info
1329 dependency, since it produces a Lintian warning and using the current
1330 packaging on lenny is probably rather a stretch anyway.

2123 regenerate it to use stable device names in /dev/disk/by-id/. If it had
2124 more than one entry, then display a critical-priority debconf note

2127 necessary (closes: #583271).
2128 * Use 'set -e' rather than '#! /bin/sh -e' or '#! /bin/bash -e', to avoid
2129 accidents when debugging with 'sh -x'.
2130 * Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
2131 /dev/disk/by-id/ (closes: #554790). Migrate previous device names to
2132 that, with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we
2133 got the right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go
2134 away, ask again. (This is based on the implementation in Ubuntu.)
2135 * If grub-install fails during upgrade-from-grub-legacy, allow the user to
2136 try again with a different device, but failing that cancel the upgrade
2138 * Remove numbering from patch files. The order is now explicit in a quilt

2163 * Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
2164 still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
2165 files are missing when upgrading.
2166 * If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
2167 all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask

2243 available keys in /etc/default/grub (closes: #497085).
2247 * Reorganise configure and build targets in debian/rules to use stamp
2248 files. configure/* never existed and build/* was always a directory, so
2249 make never considered either of them up to date (closes: #450505).
2250 * Remove config.h.in from AUTOGEN_FILES, since autoheader doesn't
2251 necessarily update it.
2252 * Remove conf/gcry.mk from AUTOGEN_FILES, and conf/gcry.rmk from their
2253 dependencies. autogen.sh runs util/import_gcry.py after autoconf et al,
2254 so conf/gcry.rmk's timestamp will be later than some of the
2255 autogenerated outputs.
2256 * Go back to shipping rescue images in the grub-rescue-pc .deb itself
2257 rather than generating them in the postinst. This means that (a) they
2258 get removed when the package is removed (closes: #584176); (b) they are
2259 listed in package metadata, as is proper for files in /usr (closes:
2260 #584218); (c) grub-rescue-pc can potentially be used as a
