Could you please document this fact in the grub-install manpage? It 
led to some confusion at least on my side when I tried to analyse the 
error message that led to this bug report. Should I file another minor 
bug report about this request?

Fine, thanks.

However, to make really sure we are only kicking out lines that 
*begin* with the "(fd..." string, maybe we should add another '^' just 
before the left parenthesis, i.e.

	sed -e "/(fd[0-9]\+)/d;

becomes

	sed -e "/^(fd[0-9]\+)/d;

Thanks,
Fabian
