Bug#177343: grub-installer: Should support all archs supported by grub



Package: grub-installer
Version: 0.0.5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

The grub-installer control file states that the package only should
build on Architecture i386.  The package should work on all archs
supported by grub.  Checking the buildd logs, it seems that at least
hurd-i386 is supported as well.  It should be added to the arch list.

Perhaps it would be an idea to add 'grub' to the build depend list, to
make it more obvious that this package require grub to be usefull?  Or
perhaps just make it architecture independant, as there is nothing in
the package making stopping it from running on any arch as soon as
grub is available.  Then arch could be set to 'any'. :)

Here is a patch relative to 0.0.5 to get both these changes:
