Bug#548125: me too

[Faheem Mitha]

Hi,

I'd like to second Samuel's complaint about the lack of clarity of the 
upgrade message, particularly

"Also, it is not clear what saying "no" will do. Will it overwrite the
existing installation in the MBR or not?"

It could mean either

the upgrade from grub1 to grub2 will be aborted, and just grub1 will be 
used

or

grub1 will be summarily tossed, and grub2 will be written to the mbr.

I'm guessing the latter, but I still don't know, and have no obvious way 
of finding out, as it was not obvious what script was being run. Funnily 
enough, this message is quoted all over the web, but nobody explains what 
the 'no' option would do. In any case, the message really should be 
explicit.

I just did an upgrade from lenny to squeeze, and this was probably the bit 
that gave me most pause. What is the best way of bringing this to the 
attention of the people who read installation reports?

                                                           Regards, Faheem
