Bug#537945: can't uninstall grub to keep legacy

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: grub
Version: 0.97-54
Severity: normal

I tried to uninstall grub to keep grub legacy, as specified in the debconf but:

# aptitude remove grub

I seguenti pacchetti saranno RIMOSSI:
  grub grub-legacy{u}
I seguenti pacchetti parzialmente instalalti saranno configurati:
  joystick
0 pacchetti aggiornati, 0 installati, 2 da rimuovere e 0 non aggiornati.
È necessario prelevare 0B di archivi. Dopo l'estrazione, verranno liberati 1044kB.

Grub legacy shouldn't depend on grub i guess.

## lines between the AUTOMAGIC KERNELS LIST markers will be modified

## DO NOT UNCOMMENT THEM, Just edit them to your needs

## ## Start Default Options ##
## default kernel options
## default kernel options for automagic boot options
## If you want special options for specific kernels use kopt_x_y_z
## where x.y.z is kernel version. Minor versions can be omitted.
## e.g. kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro

##      kopt_2_6_8_2_686=root=/dev/hdc2 ro
# kopt=root=UUID=d627c2b4-70a7-45e7-8678-5698f532ca8d ro

## default grub root device
## e.g. groot=(hd0,0)
# groot=(hd0,2)

## should update-grub create alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. alternative=true
##      alternative=false
# alternative=true

## should update-grub lock alternative automagic boot options
## e.g. lockalternative=true
##      lockalternative=false
# lockalternative=false

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=

## should update-grub lock old automagic boot options
## e.g. lockold=false
##      lockold=true
# lockold=false

## Xen hypervisor options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenhopt=

## Xen Linux kernel options to use with the default Xen boot option
# xenkopt=console=tty0

## altoption boot targets option
## multiple altoptions lines are allowed
## e.g. altoptions=(extra menu suffix) extra boot options
##      altoptions=(single-user) single
# altoptions=(single-user mode) single

## controls how many kernels should be put into the menu.lst
## only counts the first occurence of a kernel, not the
## alternative kernel options
## e.g. howmany=all
##      howmany=7
# howmany=all

## should update-grub create memtest86 boot option
## e.g. memtest86=true
##      memtest86=false
# memtest86=true

## should update-grub adjust the value of the default booted system
## can be true or false
# updatedefaultentry=false

## should update-grub add savedefault to the default options
## can be true or false
# savedefault=false
