I'm not sure how I fixed it. I followed the instructions provided in some of 
the comments above by some other victim of the issue.
But it was almost certainly the second way.

Will I (and others in my situation) hit the problem again "only" when
dist-upgrading to 14.10 (which is already out btw) or also when
installing the grub updates that have been available for a while? (which
I have always avoided installing just in case)?

Secondly and most important, what should I do "so that the package
system knows" whatever it needs to know, so that I can dist-upgrade
without screwing up my working system again?
