Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: grub2

grub crashed during 9.10 auto-update after first reboot after installing
to a new machine. apparently (faict) because after diffing my+upgrade
/etc/default/grub, i clicked "back" and it wanted me to click "forward"
instead, as ridiculous as that sounds.

since the answer to "do you want file A or file B?" was actually
"neither: i want to edit the file to fix it", there may have been a
contention at that point that grub failed to check or handle properly.

debconf (understandably) sulked a lot when grub crashed.

don't know if it also duped 472298, since i haven't rebooted yet.

(funnily enough, after a dozen perfect installs on all sorts of
different hw, this one has been terrible so far. i'd be willing to bet i
can hit well over 25 papercuts from install and initial configuration
alone, without. seriously).  :/
