grub2 (2.02~beta3-3ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Drop build-dependency on libxen-dev, unnecessary now that upstream has
    taken a copy of the necessary public headers.

  [ Chris Glass ]
  * debian/patches/support_initrd-less_boot.patch: Added knobs to allow
    non-initrd boot config. (LP: #1640878)

Title:
  grub2 cannot currently generate configuration without initrd

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  As it currently stands grub2 cannot create grub.cfg menu entries that do not use an initrd image if one is present but the user does not desire to use it.
  Furthermore, root= entries only support UUID and LABEL, but neither is an option if booting the kernel without an initrd.

  Suggestion:

  Allow grub2 to create configuration files without an "initrd" line and
  passing PARTUUID as root= entry by adding configuration knobs.
