Since time's running, I hope you already did notice that the
documentation in either the source form alpha and the potato binary
package is pretty much srewed up. I dit a dpkg-buildpackage of grub from
source (0.5.92 form alpha) and found that the info files aren't being
compressed. The info database isn't updated, too. Maybe this is related
to my system which is mainly slink with glibc update. As a matter of
fact the potato binary I installed on a potato system came with no info
files at all, which is rather bad to get you started.
Also a minor problem is the README.debian pointing to the wrong
directory of the binary, which reside in
/usr/share/grub/($arch) instead of /usr/lib/grub/($arch) as stated in
the readme.
I think grub is a really great bootloader, but documentation is _really_
importent, so better get this fixed...
Best regards
