Package: debian-installer
Version: 20130430
Severity: normal

 - Install Debian on a new 3TB disk
 - GPT partition table gets used
 - Do manual partitioning
 - Installation finished (grub install does not produce an error)

Expected:
 - Debian boots

Instead:
 - Grub not found since there was no bios-grub partition

Possible solution:
 - Warn if the disk doesn't contain a bios-grub partition.
 - Explain what is needed and what happens if this partition is missing.
