-* Fix grub for user-space partitions (expected 2010-07-12)
-    * Currently, when using user-space partitions,
-      grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
+* (./) Fix grub for user-space partitions (2010-07-16)
+    * grub-probe detects the whole device rather than the partition
       as the device behind /boot/grub.
       Consequently, grub-install fails.
     * One approach would be to replace /dev/hd* by kernel devices
       for file systems as well as for swap partitions.
-    * On the other hand, grub-probe will need to be fixed
-      sooner or later for user-space partition support,
-      and parsing the fsysopts would possibly be an option.

+* debootstrap:
+  Don't use find to firmlink devices into /target,
+  to avoid starting many translators at once

     * publish the patch I use
     * sort out the changes suitable for inclusion
       and ask youpi and/or debian-boot@l.d.o to commit them
