Hi!

Here is a new test image [1] which is supposed to test the proper partitioning of the HFS boot partition and mounting it to /boot/grub.

Note: This image will *not* install GRUB yet properly. The purpose of this image
is just to test whether the changes I made to the package partman-auto and
the new packages hfsprogs-udeb and partman-hfs work correctly.

If everything works as intended, the partitioning program should automatically create and format a GRUB boot partition and mount it to /boot/grub. If that's the case, I can commit the changes to partman-auto and submit the new partman-hfs
package to unstable.

After that, I can work on the necessary changes to the grub-installer package which
conclude the changes necessary to fix the GRUB installation on Apple PowerMac.

I had to rebuild the image because I used the wrong partman-auto [1], but with that
images, the /boot/grub partition is indeed created as intended.

There is an empty question dialog that just needs to be answered with "No", but I think
that's a bug in partman-hfs I need to fix. Should be trivial.

I will commit the changes to partman-auto now and then have a look at grub-installer.
