Yes, grub-install will replace grub-legacy with grub2.
I don't know if that works better then chainloading.
If you have a rescue CD or such so you can recover grub-legacy to get a bootable system again, then you can try it out.


>I can try an "aptitude purge; rm /boot/grub/*.{mod,img}; aptitude

I just checked postinst calls grub-install /bin/true if chainloading is used
But only if there wasn't already a /boot/grub/core.img
So to be on the safe side, please do that.
