Bug#416224: Package doesn't purge or reinstall /boot/grub/*

[Tony Houghton]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-26
Severity: normal

A misleading error message made me mistakenly believe /boot/grub/stage1 
was corrupted. I backed up my menu.lst and ran `apt-get remove --purge' 
but all the files in /boot/grub/ stayed intact. I removed them manually 
and reinstalled grub, but it didn't recreate the files. Not even with 
dpkg --force-confmiss. I had to copy them manually from /usr/lib/grub.

-- System Information:
