Well, the bug is not in 4.2 -- that one has support for installing
Squeeze (obviously :).
But I'm working on a BPO version of 4.2 which should solve that issue.

Yeah, and quite a bunch of bugs more than in Squeeze. :-)

I hope that's sufficient for you as I'd really prefer people to use
the BPO version if they need Squeeze (or any newer Ubuntu).

4.2 supports pygrub, so this problem would be solved with the BPO
version, too.

I must admit, I'm surprised about that. And a little bit suspicious.
