Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080601
Severity: normal
printf treats a precision specifier on a string format as a maximum
length. For instance, %.4s will print at most 4 characters from the
string. This makes it much easier to deal with fixed-width strings.
However, grub_printf does not support this syntax.

Seems like this has been already fixed.
I've just tried it in grub-emu with a `grub_printf ("%.2s","123456")' in
commands/echo.c and it did work, i.e. only `12' was printed.
