Re: removing grub-legacy from Debian

But grub-installer still has references to the old grub package.
Especially if multipath is used.
grub2 has long time ago gained support for the multipath devices.
See #442382 [1]
Anyone knows or could test changes to grub-installer if the old grub-
legacy is still needed for it?
I'm not able (or at least don't know how) to test multipath with grub-
installer.
I created a draft MR to remove grub-legacy support from grub-installer:
<https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/grub-installer/-/merge_requests/20>
The last patch removes all remaining multipath-specific code if it is
not needed any more.
PS1: If grub-installer still needs specific support for multipath, then
it is likely that grub2 packages will need it too in order to reinstall
GRUB properly on package upgrade.
PS2: Has GRUB been tested with EFI boot from a multipath device ?
