Bug#911242: grub-legacy - Fails to install on disk

[Bastian Blank]

Package: grub-legacy
Version: 0.97-73
Severity: grave

grub-legacy fails to install a proper bootloader on disk.  Given the not
longer existing usefulness of this package, I intend to request removal
in a short time.

Regards,
Bastian
