in-target (via chroot-setup.sh in debian-installer-utils) unsets it and
always has AFAICT from the git log.

Control: block 789798 by 792547
I've tested both of these patches (grub-installer [0] and grub2 [1]
together but the grub-installer one doesn't do much without the grub2
one, since it appears that the installation of the grub-* packages also
ends up running grub-install during installation.

Attached new patch inverts the sense of the option after review of the
wording by debian-l10n-english and fixes the propagation of the setting
to the installed grub2 package.
Ian.
