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!

.
* Joey Hess
- Add support for backing up to the main menu.
- Reword the bootdev question to use less jargon, and to emphasize that
it overwrites the MBR by default.
- Ask the bootdev question at high priority, as lilo does with its
question. This along with the wording clarification should prevent
accidental unavoidable MBR destruction. Closes: #230502
- Remove dead defaultbootdev code.
