Bug#546201: grub-pc: debconf does not offer installing grub after upgrade

[Michal Suchanek <hramrach@centrum.cz>]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta2-2
Severity: important


If the debconf question about chainloading from menu.lst is answered
"no" debconf should present the selection of media to install to.

Otherwise installing grub-pc quite hard and error-prone.

Since only stable installers are somewhat guarenteed to work and
grub-legacy is still the default anyway you have to install a stable
system with grub-legacy and then upgrade.

However, upgrade always leaves debconf in a state that refuses to
install grub without manual intervention.
