We could remove the `ascii.pf2' and so only break the graphical terminal
on a package purge, but I don't think it would be good to remove the
whole /boot/grub. Maybe people want to purge the package but still wants
to have a working grub2.
Maybe we should stop copying it to /boot/grub in the postinst, just to
make piuparts happy but I don't think that'd be good.
