Bug#910429: grub-cloud-amd64: fails to install in a chroot

Package: grub-cloud-amd64
Version: 0.0.1
Severity: serious
User: debian-***@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

This is more or less expected, as this package will break your
bootloader if it finds anything useful.

I don't see piuparts mentioned in

The latter probably holds for all the grub-* packages.
But they are testable by piuparts.

piuparts regressions block migration for quite some time already.

BTW, you are missing Conflicts against
grub-coreboot, grub-efi-ia32, grub-ieee1275, grub-xen
(ideally they all should make use of Provides/Conflicts/Replaces of some
virtual package for all of them shipping their version of
/etc/kernel/*.d/zz-update-grub).

Control: reassign -1 release.debian.org
