I report upstream. But seems like it not going to be fixed anytime
soon. So, I share my smartmem.patch here. But I have no idea how it
works here at Debian. Maybe I better to keep it as is, rebuilding grub
locally.

Saying things I put in my pocket are untrusted, but items gaven to me
by other guys with sign, are trusted?! That how security treated here
at debian from all members?

Beside security point, having hudge many GB boot partition with all
kernel installed is a pain. I keep my EFI under 50MB for binaries to
boot.
