Comment 21 for bug 684875

I don't suppose there's any chance of fixing this for Maverick as well? I believe that this is the cause of the verification failure in bug 720558, and I think that any attempt to work around this in GRUB would probably do more harm than good.

Comment #2 on this bug suggests that cloud-init should no longer require the /dev/sd* names in Maverick, but I don't know what effect renaming them in a stable release would have on people. However, I'm not sure how people would be using Maverick in Xen anyway, as bug 720558 renders installation using d-i impossible, and it sounds like this bug is pretty fatal for many other use cases.
