This bug was fixed in the package grub-installer - 1.38ubuntu1
---------------
grub-installer (1.38ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
- Show the grub menu and raise the menu timeout if other operating
systems are installed (only for GRUB Legacy right now).
- Ask grub-installer/only_debian at medium priority.
- Remove splash boot parameter unless debian-installer/framebuffer=true.
- If / or /boot are on a removable device, install GRUB there by
default.
- Only mount /target/proc if it isn't already mounted.
- Support setting OVERRIDE_UNSUPPORTED_OS in the environment to force
grub-installer to use its default MBR selection method despite there
being unsupported operating systems on the disk.
- Unless grub-installer/make_active is preseeded to false, mark the
partition to which GRUB is being installed as bootable, or failing
that the first available primary partition on the disk to which GRUB
is being installed.
- Support grub-installer/bootdev_directory preseeding to make use of the
relative path feature of grub4dos, so that we can point grub4dos at
part of a disk for Wubi. Setting this disables normal grub
installation, but still generates a device.map; it also hides the
menu.
- Handle cases where /boot is bind-mounted.
- Add support for writing an MBR on each disk in an mdadm-managed RAID
providing /boot.
- Properly make use of output from os-prober to configure the booting of
other operating systems on dmraid arrays. Attempt to guess where in
the device map the array belongs, by substituting the first drive in
the dmraid array for the dmraid array device node itself, and removing
any reference to other member disks of the array.
- Add support for lpia.
- Set a sensible default boot device when /cdrom is not iso9660, as this
is probably a USB install and (hd0) does not make sense when
installing from a removable disk.
- Use rootnoverify rather than root when chain-loading Microsoft
operating systems.
* Go back to using update-grub -y for GRUB Legacy for now; our grub
package is a bit old and still requires this.
* Default to grub2 for GPT systems.
* Allow grub/grub2 choice for ext4, though still default to grub2.
* Drop code to handle error messages in dmraid's output, which is no
longer needed.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Make findfs use the last of any mounts found, in case there's more than
one due to pilot error in the partitioner (LP: #289101).
* Use grub-ieee1275 on powerpc, not grub-of which no longer exists.
[ Max Vozeler ]
* Use grub2 when ext4 is chosen (closes: #529363).
[ Felix Zielcke ]
* Change the debhelper compat level to 7 and bump the build
dependency.
* Replace deprecated `dh_clean -k' with `dh_prep'.
* Remove the lintian overrides, they're no longer needed.
* Use UUIDs in the grub2 generated menuentrys. (Closes: #473401)
* Add drivemap in the grub2 generated menuentry for DOS/Windows in
case a recent grub2 gets installed.
* Don't pass -y to update-grub. grub-legacy in lenny just prints out a
warning.
[ Otavio Salvador ]
* Add Felix Zielcke in uploads field and set DM-Upload-allowed to
allow him to upload.
