Comments/Problems:
all went fine, none of the udebs failed and the priority didn't get lowered,
which is good.
however, grub-installer did NOT ask me if I want to install the boot loader,
overwriting mine, which is NOT good. To me, this is not the good default
behaviour for the general user. at least asking would be good (okay, for the
random user this might be confusing, then defaulting to "yes" should be ok)=
=2E I
know this issue has already been raised, anyhow at least a backup of the MBR
should be done and document it somewhere.
thanks for the great debian-installer!

Thank you for your installation report.
The only problem you report is about the boot loader.
This problem has been reported differently under #229212 #230502 and
#229371. All these belong to the same field (making boot loader
installation more secure and more versatile). Thus, I clone this bug,
assign it to debian-installer and merge it with 230502.
Also note that a "nobootloader" package now exists in d-i for handling
cases where the user does not want any bootloader to be installed.
With these consideration, I think we can close this installation
report. Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
