I had a look at this again and compared it to grub-legacy, which seems to be some kind of ancestor to this package. The only difference I noted is that grub-legacy does not run update-grub from its postinst, this is solely left to the kernel hooks. If I install grub-legacy in a similar chroot setup as used by piuparts, and run update-grub there manually, it will fail in the same way as update-menu-list is failing - the root device cannot be determined. Maybe the pv-grub-menu postinst should guard the update-menu-list call with '|| true' or check whether grub can find the root device before running update-menu-list.
