I've been trying to document the existing processes here: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Bugs/GrubInstaller In limited circumstances grub-installer will guess "(hd0)" (the first disk detected by grub-mkdevicemap). When installing from USB this is often wrong. There are some circumstances where grub-installer will look at where /boot resides. I suspect most of the time this is a better guess. It will always ask for user confirmation. There are different dialogs shown to the user depending on which detections grub-installer used. It has become over-complicated.
