Thanks for looking into this. I'm a bit confused:

Yes, Bug#612128 was not about camcontrol, despite the misleading
title. I pointed to it to mention that I used 1.98+20100804-14 in
the past and it worked fine.

Yes, that's what I just said. :)

As I mentioned, after downgrading libgeom0 to 8.1-5, everything works
fine. Upgrading libgeom0 to 8.2-2 and running
dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
reproduces the problem again. Why would a GRUB rebuild help?
My previous question about whether this is reproducible on other
people's machines was not rhetorical. It would be a new symptom,
which could help me in investigating.
