Bug#558422: grub-pc: upgrade hangs

Package: grub-common
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-18
Followup-For: Bug #558422
Control: severity -1 serious

This just happened to me as well, except that I as not able to continue the
upgrade by hitting Ctrl-C. I don't consider this behavior acceptable in a
stable release, hence raising the severity to serious.

While the command is hanging, the relevant process tree looks like this:
root      9110  0.0  0.0  20076 13532 pts/1    Ss+  09:34   0:00      |               \_ /usr/bin/dpkg --status-fd 29 --configure --pending
root      9161  0.0  0.1  37892 24684 pts/1    S+   09:35   0:00      |                   \_ /usr/bin/perl -w /usr/share/debconf/frontend /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 2.02+dfsg1-16
root      9178  0.0  0.0   7372  3748 pts/1    S+   09:35   0:00      |                       \_ /bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 2.02+dfsg1-16
root      9306  0.0  0.0   7372  2156 pts/1    S+   09:35   0:00      |                           \_ /bin/bash /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst configure 2.02+dfsg1-16
root      9307  0.0  0.0  11208  1428 pts/1    D+   09:35   0:00      |                               \_ grub-mkdevicemap -m -
root      9308  0.0  0.0   6408   896 pts/1    S+   09:35   0:00      |                               \_ grep -v ^(fd[0-9]\+)

Attaching a gdb or to the grub-mkdevicemap process to look what it is blocked
on unfortunately didn't work. Gdb or gcore then simply blocked then too and
could only get terminated with a kill -9.
