All committed and uploaded, except for grub-installer. There are some
bits of logic for /proc handling, maybe that could be reused/united with
the /sys and /proc you need? Maybe umount once you're done?

Also, it looks to me like there's a missing grub-gfxpayload-lists in the
dpkg -P call in the grub-pc case?

I guess it would be nice to call for help testing the dailies once
grub-installer is finally patched and uploaded? Catching any regressions
before beta 3 freeze would be nice…


Christian, new template as mentioned in <20120822135919.GE497@einval.com>
for partman-efi's debian/partman-efi.templates:

+Template: partman-efi/too_small_efi
+Type: error
+# :sl5:
+_Description: EFI partition too small
+ EFI boot partitions on this architecture cannot be created with a size less
+ than 35 MB. Please make the EFI boot partition larger.

Sorry… :(
