This bug was fixed in the package grub-installer - 1.49ubuntu9

---------------
grub-installer (1.49ubuntu9) lucid; urgency=low

  * Ask grub-installer/only_debian at high priority again (LP: #47135).
    Originally, in Warty, we ensured that this question wouldn't be visible
    by default to support simple installations of Ubuntu with as few
    questions as possible. However, since then, we wrote Ubiquity, which
    has taken over responsibility for the simple installation case, and it's
    become clear that automatically installing GRUB to the first disk's MBR
    is inadequate for many more complex situations. Ironically, Ubiquity
    makes this option easily accessible from the "Advanced" dialog box, but
    Ubuntu's d-i required a special boot parameter to display it.
  * Update grub-installer/bootdev text to avoid GRUB device naming that
    changed between GRUB Legacy and GRUB 2, and to use libata-style device
    naming since that is more accurate for most people (LP: #391775)
