Bug#546757: grub: os-prober tries (and fails) to mount crypted partition at grub installation time

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: important
File: grub
Hi,
I've seen the discussion about the use or not by default of os-prober.
On my machine, I've some encrypted partitions that I manually mount when
I need to access to the information.
During grub package configuration, os-prober is launched and try to mount
these partitions. This stalls the grub installation (ie apt is blocked).
# apt-get dist-upgrade

Installation finished. No error reported.
This is the contents of the device map /boot/grub/device.map.
Check if this is correct or not. If any of the lines is incorrect,
fix it and re-run the script `grub-install'.

And I'm stalled here.
Here is the (partial) result of "ps axf" during the stall:

I think this is primary a bug in grub: it must not use os-prober if such stall occurs.
Perhaps you will want to clone this bug to os-proper for a wishbug in order to have an
option to avoid such filesystems.

Vincent
