Hello,

> +GRUB_DEPENDENCIES = host-grub 

This raises a question similar to the one I asked for syslinux, but in
the opposite side. I don't think host-grub is a build dependency of the
target grub (i.e the target grub *can* be compiled without host-grub
being compiled), even though host-grub might be useful when grub is
enabled.

What should we do in this case? At least we should have a consistent
decision between syslinux (patches by Arnout) and grub (patches by
Darius).

I think we should create in the documentation a "Package specific
comments" part, in which we could detail some subtleties of various
packages.

Regards,

Thomas
