I believe that pv-grub chainloads grub on the guest, where as py-grub
is 100% python and just reads the config.

Now, I hope someone from the release team will answer this: if we build
a new xen-pv-grub package, will it be accepted by the RT, even if we are
late, as the lack of pv-grub in the xen-utils can be considered a
regression in Squeeze (as Lenny had the feature)?
AFAICS there was no pv-grub in Lenny:
pk...@franck:~/ftp/ftp/dists/lenny$ zgrep pv-grub Contents-amd64.gz
Contents-i386.gz
pk...@franck:~/ftp/ftp/dists/lenny$
If this is the case, there's no regression. Furthermore this is a bug of
severity:wishlist, so no, it would be too late for this.
Kind regards,

Considering that here:
http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/PvGrub
it's written that PvGrub is replacing pygrub,
Replacing is rather strong. They serve similar purposes but its entirely
up to user preference and/or requirements which one is used. They
certainly aren't mutually exclusive or anything like that and pygrub is
not going away upstream any time soon.
Replacing isn't my wording. Should the wiki be changed?
What's the advantages/differences of pv-grub compared to pygrub then?
What is the point in having 2 p*grub that do the same thing?
and that in Lenny (unless there's still pygrub in Squeeze,
pygrub _is_ in squeeze:
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/xen-*/bin/pygrub
xen-utils-4.0: /usr/lib/xen-4.0/bin/pygrub
I haven't seen any suggestion, from Bastian or otherwise, that it will
be removed.
I don't believe pvgrub was in Lenny.
Ian.
Cool, thanks for clarifying this. I run outdated self-backported version
of Bastian's packages (shame on me...), which is why I wasn't sure.
