Bug#637183: live-build: Building tar target fails when using grub as bootloader

[Axel <axel.ml@laposte.net>]

Package: live-build
Version: 2.0.12-2
Severity: important

When builidng a "tar" target, the process stops at the grub install.
Maybe this step could install the grub configuration files in the tar.gz file.
Those would be used later when manually extracting the tar file on a filesystem.
