Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
During daily updates on Lucid grub needs you to tell it where to install it
where it should use where it is now.
New users as well as some other users that don't know where grub is and such.
This should just place it where it is already on any upgrade.
here is the output from dist-upgrade today (the latest)
Setting up gnome-terminal (2.29.6-0ubuntu4) ...
Setting up grub-common (1.98-1ubuntu2) ...

UNRELIABLE and its use is discouraged..
