Does it work with Grub 2 (grub-pc)?

Scott, I've been told by a few sources that it does but that is not a definitive answer.

Before we change it, I'd like to see some actual testing.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/StartUpManager states that it does work with Grub2.

I cannot test right now; however, that page should be enough evidence. If needed I will test on my other machine when I have access to it.

Does the package documentation cover this point?

It doesn't look like there is any documentation.

https://launchpad.net/startup-manager/ links to http://web.telia.com/~u88005282/sum/index.html as the home page, which says that it works for grub2.

Marco, thanks, but could you make that dependency be grub-pc rather than grub2? grub2 is just a transitional package depending on grub-pc.
