@Darko:

> "this may lead to problems in non-standard environments"??? Excuse me,
but ANYONE able to create non-standard environment is probably able to
use any ubuntu cd, super grub, system rescue cd, or what ever and get
the system online.

There are easy to handle bootloaders other than GRUB2 around that we
need to take care of  during an update. Under no circumstance these
should be overwritten thus making automatic installation procedures
difficult. The upgrade as it is now is very comfortable in this respect.

However for a long-term solution I vote for Erick's idea #3, i.e.
leaving Grub where it is during an update. This may need two different
operation modes of the installer, one for updates only, and one for
fresh installs (or repair).
