The bad think about doing it in grub-installer is that it wouldn't cover other bootloaders. I think it ought to be done in apt-install (that is inside of d-i-utils) so we could have something like: "assume installed" preseeding that could be used for it. And then live-installer would be responsable for preseeding it if needed. What do you think? -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
