Robert: I guess this must be because of your changes in version 1.26?
It's possibly OK to offer grub2 as an option for powerpc, but I doubt it 
should be the default choice at this point.

Also, if only some subarchitectures are supported, grub-installer should at 
least check for those (but I'm not sure that you can check for just 
pegasos/efika).

This is obviously a release blocker.

Cheers,
FJP
