Looking very briefly, it seems to me that the password code in grub-installer only works with grub/menu.lst and not with grub2/grub.cfg; someone could probably fix that, before thinking about implementing any further changes. > Ideally, you should be able to specify various passwords per-GRUB-boot-option, > so that if you boot kernel A, you have to type a password different to when > you boot kernel B. I'm not sure d-i is the right place for that kind of things… Mraw, KiBi.
