Changelog
grub2 (1.98+20100617-1) unstable; urgency=low
* New Bazaar snapshot.
- Fix i386-pc prefix handling with nested partitions (closes: #585068).
* When running grub-pc.postinst from upgrade-from-grub-legacy, tell it to
disregard the fact that /boot/grub/stage2 and /boot/grub/menu.lst still
exist (closes: #550477).
* Touch a marker file when grub-install is run but GRUB Legacy files are
still around. If that marker file is present, pretend that GRUB Legacy
files are missing when upgrading.
* If GRUB Legacy files are present when upgrading, scan boot sectors of
all disks for GRUB 2. If we find GRUB 2 installed anywhere, then ask
the user if they want to finish conversion to GRUB 2, and warn them that
not doing so may render the system unbootable (closes: #586143).
* Leaving grub-pc/install_devices empty makes sense in some situations,
but more often than not is a mistake. On the other hand, automatically
selecting all disk devices would upset some people too. Compromise by
simply asking for explicit confirmation if grub-pc/install_devices is
left empty, defaulting to false so that simply selecting all the
defaults in debconf can't leave you with an unbootable system (closes:
#547944, #557425).
