Hi Thibaut,
I actually have successfully gotten my Mac Mini 6,1 to boot via Grub
2. I used these instructions:
http://glandium.org/blog/?p=2830
...adapted for my machine. Note that I don't dual boot: it's Ubuntu only.
I also created a PPA for the hfs-bless utility here:
https://launchpad.net/~detly/+archive/mactel-utils
<https://launchpad.net/%7Edetly/+archive/mactel-utils>
...and the packaging source is here:
https://github.com/detly/mactel-boot
Let me know if you have any questions :)

Dear Ubuntu Mactel team members,
We have created a [1]team at Debian with the same goal as yours,
although it does seem that we have much less man-power than you do. The
primary purpose of this mail is to introduce ourselves.
Ideally, I would like to incorporate all the nice work that you do into
Debian.
I have a specific question for you: I am trying to package everything
necessary to configure macbooks with hybrid graphics to boot in EFI
mode. Do you have any experience with this? I personally [2]succeeded
rather well, but in a very hacky manner which cannot be packaged as
such. Did you manage it better in Ubuntu?

Kind regards, Thibaut.

Hi Thibaut,
I personally have not had success using Grub and EFI... I actually
had to use rEFInd from MacOSX in order to get to Ubuntu. But, my
machine is older, and does not have hybrid graphics, only nvidia.
I would really like to figure out how to use Grub2 as the main
boot mechanism... but I would also like to use the nouveau drivers
and still suspend/resume. :)
I have a 3,1 Macbook so if you would like me to test something on
it I would be glad to help if you need.
I would also like to circumvent using rEFInd and use only
Grub2-efi if possible
