I'd like to close two important bugs in vmdebootstrap and upload
to unstable to migrate these changes into jessie:

#767196 - downgrade dependency on grub2-common (used for grub2
support inside vm images) to a Recommends: to allow for users
who are running grub-legacy.

#767913 - one character change to the grub2 support to allow
a boot partition to be used in a VM image using grub2.

Both fixes would also be considered for an update to the existing
wheezy-backport, once migrated into jessie.

The current package limits users of grub-legacy to not be able
to use grub2 in VM images, so this needs to be expressed in the
manpage. So I'm proposing to make a new upstream release with the
patch from 767913 applied, the changes for 767196 made in debian/control
and updates to the grub2 section of the manpage made upstream.

If these changes are not likely to be approved, I'll work on a range
of the other bugs filed against vmdebootstrap and make a 0.5 upstream
tag and release to upload to experimental only. So the debdiff is
not complete at this stage but will contain:
