Wow.  And I thought you knew.

pygrub is the "we go and fetch the menu.lst from the partition and parse the
menu and emulate grub somehow" way of life.  pv-grub is the "we actually start
something grub-ish in the VM".  And yes, I know that pygrub was in Lenny, I was
unsure about pv-grub, but as we see, it wasn't there.

Kind regards,
