That is interesting. I skimmed the early parts of this thread, so I
don't know the context, but I recently had a similar disappearance of
grub. I upgraded an etch laptop from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18 and it
mysteriously purged grub, removing the /boot/grub directory entirely.
This was left unresolved after a discussion ("2.6.18 problems with
grub and ACPI") on debian-laptop.
I wonder if there is a connection...
