It works, but the maintainer is not exactly responsive in fixing bugs,
even when supplied with tested patches.  Given the "dead" state of
development, and upstream's bad attitude, I'll be glad to switch to
GRUB as soon as it's usable.  [Maintaining a local fork just so I can
use udev is not my idea of fun.]
