Package: ipxe
Version: 1.21.1+git20250317.42a29d56+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Please revert to a single ipxe package. There was no compelling reason to split
the GRUB support into a separate package.
Thanks!

Closing, since it's become clear that the change was intentional and
that the maintainer refuses to revert it.
Meanwhile, the remaining issue of dependencies between ipxe and
grub-ipxe is addressed in another bug report.
