Package: os-prober
Version: 1.67
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I dunno if I should add this info. on the above 4 bugs or make a new
one, and if in the 4 one, which one. I have been trying to migrate
some systems which have windows 7. I installed Debian testing on those
systems and tried both os-prober 1.66 as well as 1.67 but both of them
corrupt the windows 7 loader. Please let me know if there is any more
information that I can share which would be off help.

Awesome - thanks for confirming. I'll close it now. Are both booting
via UEFI OK?
