Bug#765540: grub2: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found

So it turns out I was wrong, and the system actually boots from SSD. But
it probably updated only the HDD. Sorry for this. So I admit that this
is probably hard or impossible to catch in an update. I still think the
situation could be improved, by doing one or both of

* Upon upgrades, scan *all* disks for Grub signatures and offer
upgrading others as well.
* When running grub-install on a device other than the "default" one,
tell the user how to make sure grub will run this update in future.

Actually, I still have no idea how to do the latter. I assume the
dpkg-reconfigure you mentioned will do that, but I currently don't feel
like breaking my boot again ;-)

When I moved my system, I was not aware that and how I had to tell grub
about the location to change on update, I assumed "some magic" would
figure out how I booted and act accordingly. After all, "some magic"
already configures Windows installations etc., so what I do know what
other kinds of tricks Grub can do...

Kind regards
Ralf
