grub (0.97-1ubuntu1) dapper; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.
  * Drop Nathaniel McCallum's nonaltoptions patch, done differently in
    Debian (as defoptions); added migration code to deal with old Ubuntu
    menu.lst files.
  * Drop Matthew Garrett's stage 2 drive fallback patch, since upstream has
    implemented a different solution which appears to address essentially
    the same problem.
  * Generated debian/control once from debian/control.in using
    type-handling, but continue to avoid the build-dependency on
    type-handling; the generated debian/control is in the source package.
  * Disable fix_amd64_compile.diff for now; it causes configure to fail with
    "GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils".
