How does this affect the use of grub-legacy?

grub-legacy also uses grub-probe.

grub (0.97-42) unstable; urgency=high

   * Avoid passing UUIDs to Linux when "/dev/disk/by-uuid/${root_uuid}" does
     not exist
   * control (grub): Add a note in description pointing at GRUB 2.
     (Closes: #488304)

   * patches/use_grub-probe_in_grub-install.diff: Use grub-mkdevicemap when
     device.map needs to be regenerated (this brings in Virtio support, and
     probably others).
     (Closes: #491745)
