Bug#491872: grub-pc: No problems when os-prober is installed

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090725-1
Severity: normal
I just installed os-prober manually (because of the mentioned problem,
which caused missing entries for other operating systems) and ran
update-grub2.
On my system with GNOME running, this didn't cause windows with file
explorers to pop up and umount of the other partitions went just fine.
The probing went fine, see below.
So, if this is true for everyone, I'd suggest to move os-prober back to
recommends. It's not nice to discover your other OS entries are gone
after upgrading to grub2 (from legacy) without any warning or hint what
to do about it, whatsoever.
My 2 cents...
