I know that roberto is on Wheezy but, as a point of interest for anyone
reading this thread in the future, grub-install(8) has
--recheck
probe a device map even if it already exists
in Wheezy, but
--recheck
delete device map if it already exists
in unstable (grub 2.02 beta2-11).
I don't think a device map has much significance nowadays.
