I'm sure that the current grub2 in Debian is a regression in comparison
with some previous versions. Robert, I really think that a patch for this
bug should be included in squeeze. A raid setup with spare disks was
working before. Since a few versions of grub2, it is broken. There is a
patch that seems to fix this bug and the patch comes from upstream.
You should apply it to the grub2 package and upload it to unstable.
It is sure that some regression will be fixed. And, perhaps, other
regressions will occur. But there is currently no current indication of
that and, as with this regression, they would have to be fixed if they
occur.
If you really want more testing before uploading to unstable, then
upload to experimental and ask for testing in debian-devel.
Regards,
Vincent
