Bug#495909: (grub) pre-approval for #495909

[Robert Millan]

Hi,

Please would you pre-approve fixing #495909 ?  It is an annoying (but
otherwise harmless) collateral result of:

  * Handle errors in RAID/LVM scan routine (rather than letting the upper
    layer cope with them).  (Closes: #494501, #495049)
    - debian/patches/00_raid_lvm_error_handling.diff: Fix the actual problem.
    - debian/patches/00_grub_print_error.diff: Fix a bug exposed by
      00_raid_lvm_error_handling.diff.

from 1.96+20080724-8.

Which was a correct change from grub2 POV, since these errors had to be
printed instead of silenced;  however for grub (legacy) it's not, since
some of these errors have no meaning there (as Martin correctly spotted).

My fix (only for grub, not grub2) would be to simply send grub-probe stderr
output to /dev/null.  It's no great loss, and I think it's the simplest &
most suitable solution for lenny.

Thanks
