Well, calling it grub-mkrawimage makes life a bit easier for packagers as it brings us closer to a situation in which two ports don't conflict with each other. In debian we already ship a single copy of grub-mkelfimage this way (grub-common package). That said, in practice it isn't yet possible for two ports to coexist in the same system, so it doesn't bring much benefit in short term. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
