Bug#372186: grub2: powerpc version depends on ofpathname

Package: grub2
Version: 1.94-1
Severity: normal

grub-install depends on the utility "ofpathname" in powerpc-utils
(http://ppc64-utils.ozlabs.org/).

This is not the same as the powerpc-utils in Debian, and it is
licensed under the IBM Common Public License.  It's not clear
if this is DFSG-free (I asked on -legal).

This might be substituted with the "ofpath" utility which is
part of yaboot, but they are completely independent
implementations which are not completely identical.


Regards,
Roger
