I've gone ahead and applied it in Git, and then in the next d-i daily
build for hurd-i386 I could see the GRUB crash issue has gone away, TFTP
and background splash image are working again.
(It's not possible to proceed further than that due to something else
wrong with the hurd-i386 GRUB configuration for PXE [$root seems to get
unset in boot_one]. On kfreebsd, PXE works fully, so a solution could
be borrowed from us probably).
