This forces me to jump through hoops when installing a new Linux

File a bug!
If that's true, it basically borks any sort of dual boot, unusual disk
layout, whatever.
Last time I installed SUSE, it trashed my boot totally because it didn't
recognise my disk stack, failed to load necessary drivers, and worse
trashed my gentoo boot too ...
Cue one big rescue job to get the system up and working again. At least
it was only the boot that was trashed.
