I noticed the Debian "refit" package is now in feisty's Universe
repository. Integrating it into ubiquity shouldn't be too hard. After
ubiquity has finished modyfing the partition scheme, all it needs to
do is sync the MBR to the GPT by calling gptsync on the drive. It's
also important to make sure the boot partition is set to type Linux
(0x83). Shouldn't be much of a problem to implement this. Anyone
working on this yet?
