Hi,
I just committed this to grub-dumpdevtree. Fortunately, Vladimir explained
on IRC that those cryptic numbers are actually hexified versions of ASCII
strings.
Without that information, this code would be unmaintainable, and to some
extent it compromises freedom 1 (the freedom to study how a program works).
Please note that committing undecipherable chunks of bytes without explicit
maintainer approval is forbidden. If this happens again, the person who
does this will lose commit access.

how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
