It'd be lovely if someone had some spare cycles to look at this request
in the upcoming hours, or short number of days, as this is something
we'll want to get into the next D-I RC.

If that's not possible, I'll probably take responsibility for the review
and the possible unblock. I have a few more things to prepare anyway,
and I'm on no fixed schedule yet.


Cheers,

Please unblock package grub2

We've pulled in some really important fixes for GRUB, that I think are
important and should definitely be part of the bookworm release:

 * Fix an issue where a logical volume rename would lead grub to fail to
   boot (#987008)
 * Add a final patch needed to make arm64 Secure Boot work (#1020769)
 * Backport some upstream patches to fix probing of LUKS2 devices
   (#1028301), add luks2 to the signed EFI images (#1001248)
 * Add debconf logic to control os-prober use (#1031594, #1012865,
   #1025698). This dovetails with an update to grub-installer in d-i.

I've also added a small but important change to config_item() in the
postinst, which makes things much more robust. Without this,
grub-install on systems with Xen installed can fail unexpectedly.

And there's a trivial change to not warn about os-prober if it's not
installed (#1033657).

The os-prober fixes are a major change that I think we need for
bookworm. The default has changed in GRUB upstream, and this will
cause a lot of user confusion (on new installations particularly)
where they're trying to do dual-boot.

I'm asking for an unblock *now* for these changes, so that people can
review them. The os-prober update includes a new debconf template that
we'll want translations for (and hence another/more grub upload(s)
before release), but of course they should be ~zero-risk at that point.

  [x] all changes are documented in the d/changelog
  [x] I reviewed all changes and I approve them
  [x] attach debdiff against the package in testing
