Bug#1024203: grub-pc: grub-install warning about embedding

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.06-5
Severity: normal
After the grub-pc upgrade, I got:
Setting up grub-pc (2.06-5) ...
Installing for i386-pc platform.
Installation finished. No error reported.
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
Installation finished. No error reported.
Generating grub configuration file ...
[...]
According to https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/329954/74516
the grub-pc configuration did something like
grub-install /dev/sda1
which is wrong.
The cause may be the 2 devices in grub-pc/install_devices, but
that's grub that set it up. I don't remember what led to that.
/var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.templates has
Template: grub-pc/install_devices
Type: multiselect
Choices-C: ${RAW_CHOICES}
Choices: ${CHOICES}
Description: GRUB install devices:
The grub-pc package is being upgraded. This menu allows you to select which
devices you'd like grub-install to be automatically run for, if any.
.
Running grub-install automatically is recommended in most situations, to
prevent the installed GRUB core image from getting out of sync with GRUB
modules or grub.cfg.
.
If you're unsure which drive is designated as boot drive by your BIOS, it is
often a good idea to install GRUB to all of them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.
[...]
So I suppose I have the recommended setting anyway.
And this warning seems to be a common issue.
