Bug#838252: update-grub: grub-probe tries unneeded /dev/sda1 and fails

Package: grub2-common
Version: 2.02~beta2-36
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
	i changed the timeout in /etc/default/grub and ran update-grub
   * What was the outcome of this action?
	# update-grub
	Generating grub configuration file ...
	Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
	Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.0-1-amd64
	Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64
	grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sda1.  Check your device.map.
	done

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
	there are 2 drives in the PC. /dev/sdb is this debian testing box. /dev/sda is
	unrelated. it contains an ISO image of Antergros Linux, which i dd'd to it.

	here's my workaround:
	# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M &

	# update-grub
	Generating grub configuration file ...
	Found background image: /usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-grub.png
	Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.0-1-amd64
	Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64
	done

	here's what /dev/sda looked like (before dd with /dev/zero):
	# fdisk -l /dev/sda
	Disk /dev/sda: 1.4 TiB, 1500300828160 bytes, 2930275055 sectors
	Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
	Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
	I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
	Disklabel type: dos
	Disk identifier: 0x71fa5910

	Device     Boot Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
	/dev/sda1  *        0 3528575 3528576  1.7G  0 Empty
	/dev/sda2         224   63711   63488   31M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)

Greetings,
David
