Sorry for the silence... to many things going on at once...
I've been able to step-up the full grub 1.97 infrastructure,
including the debian/ directory from the Ubuntu 09.10
sources in order to have clean install/uninstall cycles.
I'm running on a VirtualBox for all tests ;-) but since it
takes time to setup everything, its quite convenient to
have snapshots you can revert to.

Can I apply your patch on the stock 1.97 source or do
I need the experimental sources? I had a lot of problems
with them. In fact, I  haven't able to produce the deb
packages from them.
