[ Colin Watson ]
cache_coherency.diff: Flush buffer cache on disk devices after writing
to any partition devices they contain, otherwise we may read old data
back (LP: #185878).

* debian/patches/grub-install_better_raid.diff: backported from Intrepid;
  install grub on multiple disks in a RAID. (LP: #290885)
* debian/patches/00list: updated accordingly

58. By Scott James Remnant (Canonical) on 2008-04-10

Change dependency on volumeid to one on udev.

57. By Colin Watson on 2008-04-03

* debian/patches/edd-device-map.diff: Use EDD information if available to
  help generate a more correct device.map; boot with edd=on to activate
  this (LP: #8497).
* Fix a ".bar" -> ".br" typo in update-grub(8).

[ David Futcher ]
* debian/presubj: Fixed spelling mistake (LP: #177540)

[ Tormod Volden ]
* debian/update-grub: use >> instead of > when writing to existing files
  so that the script continues to work if noclobber is set. LP: #155423

[ Steve Langasek ]
* debian/patches/ext3_256byte_inode.diff: new patch cherry-picked from
  Debian to support 256-byte inodes in ext3, for compatibility with recent
  e2fsprogs upstream defaults. Thanks Stefan Lippers-Hollmann.

55. By Steve Langasek on 2008-02-27

* debian/update-grub: additional adjustment of the menu output when
  emulating old grub for upgrades: if there are no kernel options for the
  kernel (such as for memtest), output a trailing space.
* debian/update-grub: now that we're using debconf, the non-debconf prompt
  (which we'll leave non-debconfed for the time being) needs to read from
  file descriptor #2 instead of stdin. LP: #194710.

54. By Steve Langasek on 2008-02-21

* debian/update-grub: use db_x_loadtemplatefile instead of
  debconf-loadtemplate, so that we can call update-grub from maintainer
  scripts of packages that do their own debconf prompting (LP: #189005).
* debian/control: depend on debconf (>= 1.5.19) | cdebconf instead of
  debconf-utils, for the above change.
* if there are any "boot" lines in the existing menu during initial ucf
  registration, we have a config generated by an old version of
  update-grub; emulate the old behavior during the ucf registration to
  ensure smooth upgrades. LP: #187362.

53. By JasonTang on 2008-02-04

* debian/grub.postinst, debian/grub.trigger:
  - Add trigger 'update-grub' that will invoke /usr/sbin/update-grub
    for packages that need to trigger grub updates.

52. By Soren Hansen on 2008-02-12

* Add support for virtio booting.
* Remove confusing mention of CFLAGS from debian/rules. It was not respected
  anyway.
* unexport CPPFLAGS CFLAGS CXXFLAGS. grub wants them to be empty.

51. By Steve Langasek on 2008-01-30

* debian/update-grub:
  - on initial ucf registration, handle the case that the old title string
    doesn't match the current one.
  - also handle the differences caused by the UUID conversion on upgrades
    from Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
  - LP: #187362.
