For the record, even if you had responded earlier, this wouldn't have
changed our decision to stop touching grub-installer at this stage
(Steve with his GRUB maintainer hat, and myself with my release manager
hat).

I can assure you the same goes for me.

Unfortunately, the closer we get to a release, the lesser we should be
touching things, esp. if that means risking anything for all the other
use cases that are already OK.


Thanks for testing Pascal's patches. Let's see if we can get that
included early in the Trixie release cycle, before possibly thinking
about some backports via a point release.


Cheers,
