There are a couple of problems still: * grub-efi tests are failing. I don't understand why, any tips here appreciated. This package can wait, however. * The changes to base-initrd are only picked up if (needed-for-boot #t). I think this is a bug, since the initrd wants to check all defined file systems, and /boot is not actually needed for Linux boot.
