Bug#529363: grub-installer: make sure grub-pc gets used when ext4 is chosen



tags 529363 - wontfix
thanks

Hi all,

this is a proposed patch to make grub-installer use
grub-pc if bootfstype is ext4.

For grub-of and grub-efi, I assume they can handle 
ext4 just as well as grub-pc since they are also 
built from grub2?

This change just covers cases in which we would use
GRUB Legacy but found ext4.
