Ah, "you". Okay, I thought you were referring to one of my posts. >>>>> I've just checked "grub2 site:lists.debian.org/debian-project" too; >>>>> nada.

The "Complete" section seems to be empty. The last notice I had for the new feature was that someone started to make some packages for it as mentioned in debian-boot: http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2011/01/msg01044.html But this was done in his "personal" tree, and thus not widely available. Beyond that, I lose any track for this feature and given it was not advertized in testing Relase Notes nor announced elsewhere, I thought this was still "an ongoing work", that is, still not an option.
