Dear Maintainer,
The XZ support for grub-mkimage has been marked as done in #688773.
However, I am still having the problem to use it:
$ grub-mkimage -C xz -O i386-pc -o myxz.img
grub-mkimage: error: grub-mkimage is compiled without XZ support.

$ grub-mkimage --version
grub-mkimage (GRUB) 1.99-23.1

Did I miss something?

Steven.

compression.  It was about compression of the .deb files.

You filed this at Severity: important - could you explain?  Why is this
important to you?  I didn't previously have plans to backport '-C xz'
support to the 1.99 packaging, as there doesn't seem any particularly
urgent need for it.

Oops... I thought it's about grub-mkimage support for xz compression.
fixed, but not.
Anyway, please ignore it.
Thanks.
