Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 6.6

grub-pc leaves a lot of files after being purged:
un  grub-pc        <none>         (no description available)

$ ls /boot/grub
(hundreds of .mopd files)

I had to purge that beast since it is a PITA, one addition to the list
of already posted list of bugs: running update-grub takes ages, if you
do kernel testing this is a pain
