Hi Yann,
Sorry if I missed a notification (I tend to forget these things). You don't
need to check for grub.conf anymore; simply checking that update-grub2 is
available would suffice. This is what grub-invaders does:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x "`which update-grub2 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
update-grub2
fi
As for GRUB Legacy, I don't recommend that you run update-grub automatically.
In a way we have promised that this wouldn't happen, so some users commented
out the update-grub lines in /etc/kernel-img.conf, and if you auto-run
update-grub automatically overwriting their menu.lst they'll probably get
yell at you ;-)
