haven't looked at the change yet, but does it preserve uefi boot with grub2? |

The "grub2" and "manifold" options for HYBRID_METHOD as well as the "grub" and "grub2" options for BOOT_METHOD are not used by any official Grml ISO. But they add considerable overhead and complexity in our code base. I'd like to keep our code base simple and avoid feature creep, so let's deprecate BOOT_METHOD, and drop support for HYBRID_METHOD other than isolinux. FTR: isolinux/syslinux is used for BIOS boot, GRUB is still relevant and used for EFI boot.

Note: not yet verified myself and there's also a
TODOleft (see code changes), but trying to gather early feedback :)
