Research direction
Start by reviewing the upstream mbr project at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~neilt/mbr/ and the Void packages contribution conventions. Confirm the GPL license, how mbr is built and installed, and its use as a GRUB replacement in VM image builds. Done means the mbr package is available through the repository and supports those stated uses.
