Package: grub
Followup-For: Bug #451701
I'd actually rate this bug as at least "important".
Anyway, one obvious place to add a warning that early GRUB stages need to be
updated manually using that "grub-install" usability crap from hell, is the
output of update-grub. It is far from obvious that update-grub does not in
fact update grub, just its configuration... unless you happen to know quite
well how grub works. It really should warn users that one needs
grub-install to actually update grub.
