Hi, Thanks for letting me know this problem. I understand your concern that users installing the ipxe package will notice the grub menu is missing after the upgrade. However, to support installing correct ipxe image(s) for booting the current machine, as I have mentioned in #1093500, the package should be arch-dependent. However, the ipxe package also provides images for booting other machines (might be used with other softwares to provide pxe booting services), which should be arch-independent. As a result, the separation is necessary. To overcome for the possible disruption to the users, I have added a NEWS entry to notify the users who want a grub menu to install the split ipxe-grub. Cheers, Miao Wang
