This is the fault of Robert and me.
I changed grub_print_error to use stderr and Robert uses it now in the
raid module.
I wanted a discussion about the whole thing upstream.
As you know already from me, the whole thing was of course confusing.
Here's the mail where it's clear why I wanted this:

grub2 does support RAID 10.
grub-legacy uses grub-probe from it now to detect the devices where to
install to.
grub-common (surprise!) belongs to grub2 source package

RAID 10 is in the lastest patch from Bean, which is not yet commited
upstream but hopefully soon.

That's the reason why I played around with it :)
