This package doesn't call grub directly - that is
user-configurable. See /etc/kernel-img.conf which was probably written
by the installer when you first installed your system.
It is reasonable to install a kernel w/o an applicable bootloader
under certain conditions, so no dependency is warranted. Just be
careful not to remove your bootloader! :)
