I see, I didn't know that, thank you. Apparently grub-setup is the
bit that complains, and it can be made to disregard the check with
the '-s' flag; however it seems non-trivial to pass -s through to
grub-setup from install-grub, and if you were using something like
d-i or another installer perhaps impossible. So, using dd is a
sensible, pragmatic suggestion.
