Please check with `echo GET grub-pc/install_devices |
debconf-communicate' what device is stored in there.
Probable it's not the one where your BIOS boots from. Or the kernel/udev
decided to name it different when grub-pc got upgraded.

Run `sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' to get prompted for the device
stored in there.
You can also decide to not choose anyone so grub-install doestn't get
run at all during package upgrades, but then it can still happen that
update-grub generates a config with which you can't boot.
And at least you have to think about running grub-install before
reporting bugs. Because then grub2 won't get upgraded at all.
