    My fix for that just got accepted upstream [1], so it will be hopefully be merged
    after the integration tests have been successful. If all goes well, the fix should
    be part of the 3.64 release.

    Great news! Thanks very much for all your efforts, Adrian!

    When can we expect the next iteration on a grub-based installer DVD for the G5 Macs? I'm anxious to give it a try!

    There are some other issues on ia64, sparc64 and x32 which I would like
    to get sorted out first. Then I will build new images for all architectures.

    For PowerPC, I also need to merge my changes into the corresponding Debian packages (partman-hfs, partman-auto, grub-installer).
