Bug#344767: Lock during kernel 2.6.14 purge

[Jean-Marc Ranger]

Sorry to break the party, but the problem is still present.  Kernel 
2.6.14-7 and grub 0.97-3.  Purge freeze just after update-grub completes.

In fact, I'm skeptical that this is a grub bug, since if I remove grub 
prior to purging the kernel, it freezes too.

Let me know if anything else is needed or need to be tried.  Or feel 
free to ignore if 2.6.15 doesn't exhibit this behavior (I didn't try), 
since 2.6.14-7 is history.
