Robert Millan just informed me via Bug #494473 (Severity: Important)
that the latest version of GRUB depends on the file

     /usr/share/unifont/unifont.hex

being present.  That file wasn't in my package because I now create
four hex file versions (with and without combining circles etc., and
with or without the Wen Quan Yi CJK ideographs for complete Unicode
Plane 0 coverage).

Can a "-2" version of "unifont" be uploaded that contains that file?
If so, what should the timeframe be?  Would it be best to fix GRUB
quickly, or best to wait a few days and see if anything else is
reported?

I posted a couple of ways to copy or generate the unifont.hex file on
the bug report as a temporary workaround.
