"grub-probe -t partmap" does exactly that, with 104 KiB (-O2) and no other dependencies. Do you want an udeb that includes grub-probe? Alternatively, could partman write partition table information to debconf so that grub-installer can grab it? -- Robert Millan My spam trap is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: this address is only intended for spam harvesters.
