Nope, that's a GRUB's statement not a Debian's one :-) There are many packages that are not being "actively" developed but still maintained upstream (how about "Unison"?) like GRUB legacy is. Anyway... "GRUB Legacy is no longer being developed. For the differences between GRUB Legacy and GRUB, see the current status on the wiki and the Grub Legacy Documentation." http://grub.enbug.org/CurrentStatus sm01@stt008:~$ LANG=POSIX; wget http://grub.enbug.org/CurrentStatus --2011-06-24 21:08:55-- http://grub.enbug.org/CurrentStatus Resolving grub.enbug.org... 211.14.6.124 Connecting to grub.enbug.org|211.14.6.124|:80... failed: Connection refused. ¿? >> It can fit some use cases but I'm afraid it leaves others out... > > The technical considerations involved in constructing the installer > outweigh any perceived inconvenience to a user is one way of looking at > it.
