Comment 9 for bug 1923268

MAAS expects the Debian architecture to be used. We could create a map for it and respond as you suggest. However this would only fix new versions of MAAS. MAAS started using bootloaders from the stream in MAAS 2.1. We no longer support MAAS < 2.5, those versions would remain broken. It would most likely take a few months to back port and qualify to MAAS 2.5-2.9. Patching GRUB to try what MAAS expects would be the fastest solution to get a fix to all of our users.
