[Bug 2051999] Re: Grub2 2.06 has upstream bug that results in Non-booting with ZFS after snapshot of bpool.

[Mike Ferreira]

In the next few days, when I get some "spare" time... I will spin up a
few test Jammy VM's to capture what depends it has to pull in from other
repo's, so that the depends can be ID'ed and maybe those packages can be
added to that Jammy package in this new PPA.

Otherwise, as I just found out with a User, it put him into broken
packages depends hell.

Doing that while possibly bringing in those depends would simplify
that... as just add the PPA and go with it.
