Some basic Debian grub2 package questions REWRITTEN

After some Felix suggestions I improve this email.

Hi Debian grub2 package maintainers and al,

	I am trying to do a Super Grub Disk package (supergrub) which
build-depends on grub2.
	
	I have some basic questions.

#1
	I have currently installed grub2 from unstable distribution.
	I just wanted to know if LUA support is included in it.
	Another related question if you recommend me to swith to another Debian
distribution such as experimental or if I should do pinning or something
for getting lfa support.

#2	
	Building floppies and cdroms for different architectures than x86. I
know that grub-pc is x86-based only, or at least, I think so.
So is there any easy way to build ppc cdrom images or the grub-mkimage
command is only x86 based?

	Is there maybe some Debian ppc packages that I am unaware of?

#3
	I will, for sure, ask on mentors mailing list for better checking. I
have still to fix a bug that I have found.
I have used 1.01 as a package version instead of 1.21-1 because upstream
version is 1.21.
	If you are bored (Don't think so ;) ) and want to check if my Debian 
package source code satisfies Debian package policies. Or you just want 
to check it for giving a piece of advice on how to improve it:
UPSTREAM: 	http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/supergrub-1.21.tar.gz
DEBIAN PACKAGE:	http://prdownload.berlios.de/supergrub/supergrub_1.02.tar.gz


---

I suppose I have many other questions but I will ask them in another emails.

Just hope that some free time to answer my questions.

Thank you very much!
