the entirety for each port.
This is the reproach I have against Grub2 (on PowerPC) when
Sven and I talk about it: it is not enough mature to become
architecture-generic. The last time I dug the code (1 month ago),
I found duplicities which disturbed me. :(

splitting in

I think powerpc support might be a bit premature. The powerpc code
upstream is a bit lagging compared with i

Hi,
As you might know, experimental grub2 support has been added to d-i when using
the expert mode, but it is only yet available on i386/amd64.
I made this patch to enable grub2 for powerpc as well, but unfortunately I can't
