It is entirely correct. Although the OP may not have realised it, he was concerned whether grub-install /dev/sdX was executed during an upgrade or dist-upgrade. He may have thought it could occur during installing new GRUB packages or a new kernel. If it does I've never experienced anything like this happening. Of course, there may be a script which does this and I have overlooked it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
