GRUB2 is tagged as experimental because upstream hadn't yet finished
to put new features on it. It's very stable and does very well for a
lot of users. I would like to ask if you can try it and if it does
work for you we can try to push it to testing.
I understand that importance of the GPT support on GRUB but I also
worry about the possible regressions it can bring to it too. We're too
near of release and after some discussion between I and Robert we
opted to keep it out.
Our idea, just after Etch release, is start to replace the grub with
grub2 for all possible architectures :-D That would solve a lot of
problems, for sure.
