Last call for pv-grub-menu.

[Charles Plessy <plessy@debian.org>]

Dear all,

pv-grub-menu is a package that maintains a configuration file in
/boot/grub/menu.lst, that is read by the PV-GRUB boot system.  It can not be
part of the grub-legacy package, which is in maintainance mode, and GRUB2
maintainers have not expressed an interest for hosting the scripts (which are
not relevant to GRUB2).  pv-grub-menu is a specialised package that is only
useful for system images booted by PV-GRUB, in particular on the Amazon
platform.

However, it has been three monthes that the package is blocked in the NEW queue
because the FTP team would prefer its contents to be part of an existing
package.

You can find more about pv-grub-menu at the following link.

If by 2014, either the scripts are not adopted in another package, or the
package has not been accepted in Debian, I will give up, and also seriously
reconsider my participation to the Debian Cloud project altogether, because in
these conditions (monthes of delays for simple developments) it is just too
hard to keep focus or momentum.

Note that it is not a complain or a menace, but if we can not increase the the
throughput of the NEW queue, then the only solution is to reduce the input.  No
need to try to do the impossible.

Cheers,
