Changes: 
 grub-installer (1.38) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   [ Colin Watson ]
   * Make findfs use the last of any mounts found, in case there's more than
     one due to pilot error in the partitioner (LP: #289101).
   * Use grub-ieee1275 on powerpc, not grub-of which no longer exists.
 .
   [ Max Vozeler ]
   * Use grub2 when ext4 is chosen (closes: #529363).
 .
   [ Felix Zielcke ]
   * Change the debhelper compat level to 7 and bump the build
     dependency.
   * Replace deprecated `dh_clean -k' with `dh_prep'.
   * Remove the lintian overrides, they're no longer needed.
   * Use UUIDs in the grub2 generated menuentrys. (Closes: #473401)
   * Add drivemap in the grub2 generated menuentry for DOS/Windows in
     case a recent grub2 gets installed.
   * Don't pass -y to update-grub. grub-legacy in lenny just prints out a
     warning.
 .
   [ Otavio Salvador ]
   * Add Felix Zielcke in uploads field and set DM-Upload-allowed to
     allow him to upload.
