Partially fixed in 1.40:
root@grebe:/home/joey>os-prober
No volume groups found
/dev/sda1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain
/dev/sda2:Windows 7 (loader):Windows1:chain
/dev/sda3:Windows Recovery Environment (loader):Windows2:chain
Ok, the problem with sda3 turns out to be the order os-prober
greps for strings.
root@grebe:~>mount -o ro /dev/sda1 /mnt
root@grebe:~joey>grep 'W.i.n.d.o.w.s. .7' /mnt/Boot/BCD
Binary file /mnt/Boot/BCD matches
root@grebe:~joey>grep 'W.i.n.d.o.w.s. .R.e.c.o.v.e.r.y. .E.n.v.i.r.o.n.m.e.n.t' /mnt/Boot/BCD
Binary file /mnt/Boot/BCD matches
This patch fixes that, is there a reason it tested for windows 7
before windows recovery?

BTW: os-prober was not installed into /target, despite being a
recommends of grub-common. It was not on the ISO used, and I
installed without a full mirror available.
Also, the syslog has some interesting messages during the grub-pc install:

(I saw no debconf questions from grub at all, IIRC.)
