Well, this gets a bit more complicated.  grub-extras is not part of GNU GRUB,
but osdetect.lua is (currently).  I'm not sure if we should make GRUB
components depend on grub-extras this way (I think this is Pavel's point).

I think we should contemplate to put LUA scripting in grub-extras too.  Like
other components of grub-extras, we don't have copyright assignment for it,
so it would fit well the purpose of grub-extras.  This would render the
question about zfs moot.
