Grub-pc grub-install doesn't write to 1st sector of partition

[fabienst <fabienst@yahoo.fr>]

Hello,

I guess I have the same issue as in #611463
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=611463

On squeeze with v 1.98+20100804-14+squeeze1 the following command doesn't 
write anything to the 1st sector of the partition.

grub-install --force /dev/sda11 

I tested it with grub-pc from testing (1.99-14) and it works fine.

Are there any plans to fix grub-pc of squeeze in an upcoming squeeze update ? 
Or would it be better that I ask for a backport ?

Kind regards
Fabien
