+grml-debootstrap (0.32) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Starting with this release support for the Debian/etch release
+    does not exist any longer.
+
+  * Starting with this release grml-debootstrap uses Grub2
+    instead of Grub-legacy (v1).
+
+  * To simplify handling for the user the configuration variable
+    GROOT was dropped and the syntax of GRUB slightly changed.
+    Instead of the old grub syntax style 'hd0' you can use
+    '/dev/sdX' for $GRUB nowadays. You don't have to care about
+    that if you are using the interactive mode.
