Bug#854082: grub-installer: grub-xen fails to install on i386 or amd64 PV guest

If you're so inclined, here's an image with grub-installer 1.137,
including the change you've suggested:
  https://mraw.org/~kibi/debian-stretch-rc2+xen.iso (~ 300 MB)

sha1sum: 61cca963a5d3bf3cbb33d802b2e337be0f16f643

[Note: This image will be removed from my server once the bug has been
addressed.]

BTW, I think the issue might have been triggered by having the following
line as the first entry of the “case” statement:

    *:grub|*:grub-pc|*:grub-efi*|sparc:grub-ieee1275|ppc64el/*:grub-ieee1275)

One might not realize the first part is an “full” architecture,
following the arch/subarch formatn.

Speaking of which, the “sparc:grub-ieee1275” part probably doesn't work…
