The cvs version (0.5.97 --- the next one should be 1.0) is stable enough,
and GRUB handle symbolic in ReiserFS too.

I have made some test, and we can reduce GRUB size to 60 Ko, keeping the

IMHO, we should go the GRUB way, since when the debian-installer is
officially used, GRUB will be "smaller".
