So are all your tests. Your input is really appreciated, thank you!

Yep, that's the idea. I assume there are only minor changes necessary
to be made until everything works as intended.

I still haven't managed to fully fix GRUB on POWER-based systems though
as I cannot get partman to flag the boot partition as PREP. And without
that flag, grub-installer is unable to find the target partition for
installing GRUB.

I have to dig into the partman source code more to be able to find
the problem.

No worries, take your time.
