I can confirm that this change fixes my issue.

Tested by:

root at neminis:/boot/grub# dpkg --force-all -P grub-pc^C
root at neminis:/boot/grub# apt-get --reinstall install grub-pc^C

then manually modifying grub-pc.config, and issuing

root at neminis:/boot/grub# dpkg --configure -a^C


Thanks for your quick help!
