Bug#919029: grub-pc: meaningless message "RUB boot loader was previously installed..."

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.02+dfsg1-10
Severity: important

When upgrading the grub packages, I got the following message:

─────────────────────────┤ Configuring grub-pc ├────────────────────────────────
RUB boot loader was previously installed to a disk that is no
r present, or whose unique identifier has changed for some reason.
 important to make sure that the installed GRUB core image stays in
with GRUB modules and grub.cfg. Please check again to make sure
GRUB is written to the appropriate boot devices.

u're unsure which drive is designated as boot drive by your BIOS,
 often a good idea to install GRUB to all of them.

 it is possible to install GRUB to partition boot records as well,
ome appropriate partitions are offered here. However, this forces
to use the blocklist mechanism, which makes it less reliable, and
fore is not recommended.

install devices:

] /dev/dm-0 (511850 MB; LVM PV RaDD9Y-cDSq-kdoy-fYKY-9eP0-kLkp-M1wVYw on /dev/dm
] /dev/sda (512110 MB; MTFDDAK512MAY-1AE1ZABHA___)
] - /dev/sda1 (254 MB; /boot)
] /dev/dm-1 (491111 MB; zira--vg-root)


                                     <Ok>

Text is missing on the left. Moreover, I don't know why I get such
a message (I haven't changed anything).
