Bug#385508: update-grub not called on postrm_hook without the full path

[Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh)]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-14
Severity: normal

Hi,

According to the NEWS.Debian, the /sbin/ path should be removed from the
postinst_hook and postrm_hook in kernel-img.conf.

Without the full path, update-grub is normally called as postinst but not as
postrm. A strace gives a "no such file or directory" for update-grub
