Bug Description
Hi
This is not really a bug report, but rather a improvement request. The subject is close to the subject of #461085
No default value should be used for the location where to install grub, as, inadvertently, the user may omit to specify where he really wants to install grub, and the /dev/sda value may be a great inconvenience for the user. The point that he made a mistake seems to me less relevant than avoiding him to make that mistake.
He may even want no grub to be installed.
For the least, showup a confirmation request, but rather remove any default value and, if the user did not specify any location, ask him to confirm he does not want any grub to be installed.
