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

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,
