Bug#630226: grub-pc_1.99-6_amd64.deb failed to upgrade while not grub-pc_1.99-6_i386.deb?

[Todd Charron]

Any news here?

This is still a problem for me. 

These packages work fine.
grub2_1.99~rc1-1_i386.deb
grub-common_1.99~rc1-1_i386.deb  
grub-pc_1.99~rc1-1_i386.deb

Any newer versions result in
Replacing config file /etc/default/grub with new version

Could this be similar to

with a change to location for the metadata?

This has been broken for months now...

Let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks.
