grub2 (2.00-20) unstable; urgency=low

  * Backport from upstream:
    - Sort gnumach kernels in version order (closes: #725451).
  * Move packaging to git, following upstream.  Adjust Vcs-* fields.
  * Remove obsolete DM-Upload-Allowed field.
  * Merge (completely!) from Ubuntu:
    - Handle probing striped DM-RAID devices (thanks, Robert Collins;
      LP: #803658).
    - Unconditionally create grub.cfg on our EFI boot partition in Secure
      Boot mode; GRUB always needs some configuration in this case to find
      /boot/grub, since we can't modify the signed image at install time
      (Steve Langasek, LP: #1236625).
    - If MokManager is present on the host system, copy it onto the EFI boot
      partition for use (Steve Langasek).
    - Adjust UEFI installation to cope with Kubuntu setting GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR
      (LP: #1242417).
    - If building for Ubuntu:
      + Bypass menu unless other OSes are installed or Shift is pressed.
      + Show the boot menu if the previous boot failed.
      + Set GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep unless it's known to be unsupported
        on the current hardware.
      + Set vt.handoff=7 for smooth handoff to kernel graphical mode.
      + In recovery mode, add nomodeset to the Linux kernel arguments, and
        remove the 'set gfxpayload=keep' command.
      + Set default timeout to 10 seconds.
      + Enable hidden timeout support by default.
    - Migrate timeout settings from menu.lst.
    - Probe FusionIO devices (LP: #1237519).
  * Make grub.cfg world-unreadable if even hashed passwords are in use
    (closes: #632598).
