Thanks.

Apparently there is XFS support in Grub 2 as well, which is where all
development is now taking place. I hope it receives adequate testing and
attention before distributions start using Grub 2.

I'll gladly volunteer to be part of the beta testing once Grub 2 (and its XFS
support) reaches the point of being available for general use and beta
testing.

Also, I've added a note to the Debian bug report on this subject, referring to
this thread.
