It's not always but, yes, there are cases (not clearly identified yet)
where grub-installer does the wrong thing.

Sadly, this issue will probably be in wheezy as nobody digged enough
to tackle this down and we get rid of it before the last version of
D-I is released.

Let's reassign this bug to where it belongs: grub-installer.
