I have now looked at this bug report, and it is indeed probable that it is a
bug in grub, who wants to write to stdout, which plays hell with the new
kernel-package debconfified due to messing up the debconf protocol.

Since policy mandates debconf for interaction, this is a RC grub bug, and a
proposed fix is have grub-updates output info on stderr instead.

There were some bugs we redirected to the grub guys, but i can't find them in
the BTS anymore, so reasigning the 344767 bug report to them.

Friendly,
