Package: grub-efi-ia32
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal


After upgrading to 1.97 beta I did not notice grub installing itself.
Since old grub is not compatible with new configs this causes problems.

I tried running grub-install manually but it refused to install itself.

I found that it's because /boot/grub is mounted with noauto so it is not
mounted when running grub-install and grub-install would complain
/boot/grub is not an EFI partition.

It's recommended somewhere to mount the EFI partition with noauto
because it is normally not used so this may be quite common setup.
