Hello Fabrice, thanks for your review!
- desktop-file-validate: fixed upstream (i will update the GIT asap)
- copyright file: fixed upstream
- popup: fixed upstream
- syslinux and parted: they are highly recommended (add important features, 
such as "MBR restore" and "bootflag move"), but not absolutely required (main 
functionality "GRUB reinstall" doesn't require these 2 packages) . If not 
installed at Boot-Repair start-up, a popup will propose to download and install 
them, but if the user chooses not to install them (or if he does not have 
internet access), Boot-Repair will disable some functionalities. As some Linux 
distributions try to save space to fit their ISO into a CD, I prefer to let 
each distribution decide whether to include these 2 packages in their ISO, or 
not. Of course, i highly recommend to include these 2 packages in Ubuntu ISO if 
Boot-Repair is included.
- yes, Boot-Repair needs root privileges. See usr/share/boot-sav/g2s-launch.sh 
: Boot-Repair will use gksudo by default if it is detected on the system. If 
gksudo is not detected, it will try with gksu. If gksu is not detected, it will 
try sudo, then su -c. This kind of detection cannot be performed via the 
desktop file.
- Clean-Ubiquity (cleanubiquitybefore and cleanubiquityafter) won't delete any 
system (why do you think it will?), it will just make bootsector backups.
