almost always is almost wrong. I e.g. have extlinux installed as a package, but not in the mbr (for preparing bootable usb drives with unetbootin). The same might apply for grub(.*) because you want to create a bootable efi disk while your machine has pc bios and vice versa. Imagine some more [need bootloader to prepare/fix something] sitautions here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
