Looks like https://review.openstack.org/#/c/263349/14/elements/bootloader/finalise.d/50-bootloader might have forgotten to account for defaults in the package map, and was released with 1.7.0

addressed by https://review.openstack.org/#/c/267271/ just needs a release

[Adam Gandelman (gandelman-a)]

This was fixed in 1.7.1

[Abel Lopez (al592b)]

This is also affecting RHEL

    Add pkg-map for redhat

    The bootloader element lacks the mapping for grub-pc and extlinux
    This adds it.

Not sure if this specific change is the root cause, but grub2 and grub2-tools are not available on RHEL 6. Trying to build RHEL 6 images with diskimage-builder fails because of those packages missing. I'm not much into diskimage-builder development yet, so do you know if there is a way to customize the package list based on the release version? (DIB_RELEASE?)
