What is the package called? By coincidence I was looking for it the other
day and all I found was:
$ apt-cache search grml
grml-debootstrap - wrapper around debootstrap for installing pure Debian
grml-rescueboot - Integrates Grml ISO booting into GRUB
grml2usb - install Grml system / ISO to usb device
The first and last are not relevant and AFAICT the middle one is support
for creating grub entries from files in /boot/grml which appear to get
there by some out of band means (i.e. by hand AFAICT). The
Depends/Recommends/Suggests of that package don't mention any other package
which might provide the actual download.
