I've done that, but also added a check so that if this means we don't
actually install grub to any boot device, grub-installer will fail.

It's not a proper fix, so I didn't mark the change as closing this bug;
but I do plan to downgrade the severity (since it now no longer causes
the installation to fail) once it's been built everywhere.
