grub2 package is still on version 2.02, although version 2.04 solves a big bug

[Oskar Roesler]

Dear Maintainers,


grub2 (and therefore, Ubuntu) can't be installed on some UEFIs because
of this bug: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/4354

The bugfix
<http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/commit/util?id=842c390469e2c2e10b5aa36700324cd3bde25875>
is already there for over a half year, but even though this bug is that
big, you still have to build the fixed grub version manually.

Debian has version 2.04 still in sid, but I would consider to jump to
2.04 earlier, to make installing Ubuntu on those problematic UEFIs
possible for unexperienced users again.


Regards,

Oskar Roesler
