The kernel must not depend on grub. That cure would be worse than the disease.
We can't really fix this *properly* without a time machine; the buggy script is shipped by the grub package. (Before you say that you removed the grub package, indeed you did; but conffiles are not removed unless you *purge* the package, and that's why this script is still hanging around. It's not actually the kernel's fault at all.)
However, we can update this script in grub to avoid failing if kernel-helper is missing, i.e. the package is removed but not purged. This won't help people who have already removed grub without the aid of the aforementioned time machine, but it will fix it for people who remove it in future.
