Bug in Jessie package; request process for backporting from Stretch?

[Jeremy Davis]

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response and guidance.

So I guess I should probably go back to my original plan of lodging a
bug report then (before I got sidetracked thinking a backport may be
quicker/easier)...

Thanks for adding the grub-pc maintainers in (save me hunting it down).
I will take the discussion off list though as it seems like it's not
really relevant here.

I will put in a bug report and cc grub-pc maintainers there...

Thanks again.

Cheers,
Jeremy
