Bug#884883: /boot/grub not created, so grub-mkconfig fails

[Joey Hess]

Package: grub-coreboot
Version: 2.02-2
Severity: normal

Seems that while grub-pc creates /boot/grub in passing (before putting
some files in there), grub-coreboot and perhaps other grubs does not.
So, installing grub and then running grub-mkconfig may fail, due to the
directory not existing.

That seems like an inconsistency that's worth making consistent.
I noticed because propellor assumed it could do that for all grubs.
Probably d-i does something else that creates /boot/grub before grub-mkconfig
ever gets run, which is why this inconsistency has not been noticed.
