Phillip,
    I see your point about installing grub to other devices. However, its not 
so easy to just run dpkg-reconfigure after the uuid's change. I admin 150+ 
machines and the prompting for the install device debconf wants to make on each 
machine would be a nightmare unless I wrote expect scripts and I would really 
rather avoid that. ;) There is a setting in /etc/default/grub where you can set 
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID to true. Perhaps debconf could honor this setting and 
record the install device as the old BIOS enumerated  /dev/<sdxy> scheme.  
Doing this would have avoided my frusterations in the first place.
