Calling grub-mkdevicemap detects the mp devices and adds them to
/boot/grub/device.map - in this case /dev/mapper/mpath0 is added as
(hd4). However doing a:
grub-install --no-floppy --grub-setup=/bin/true "(hd4)"
(similar to what the postinst does) gives:

grub-probe: unknown device

The reason is that grub_util_get_grub_dev treats mp as LVM. I'll fix
this up but I'm unsure what grub_util_get_grub_dev is supposed to
return?
Cheers,
