If somebody is still running wheezy for their dom0 (host) environment and they are using jessie or other systems with grub2 in their VMs, they can't boot their VM. A rather trivial 1-line fix in the dom0 (host) system fixes the problem. Please advise if the release team would accept an upload to old-stable adding the following 1-line patch: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;bug=783346;filename=GrubConf.py-jessie.patch;att=1 The bug report with the patch and discussion is: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=783346 Note that if people are using XCP, they are stuck on wheezy for their dom0 because XCP was not included[1] in jessie, so they can't solve this issue by simply upgrading the host.
