This is fixed in SVN.

I suggest you use the latest version of the package from SVN (combined with
latest upstream CVS as indicated in debian/changelog).

If the package fails to install, generate a device.map using grub-mkdevicemap
from the build tree, and then run `grub-probe -v /' from there.

Thanks,
