We deliberately use grub-common in our GRUB Legacy packaging even though it's from GRUB 2; there's a special hack in there to allow grub-probe to emit drive names suitable for GRUB Legacy.

grub-common has:

  Conflicts: grub-doc (<< 0.97-29ubuntu60), grub-legacy-doc (<< 0.97-29ubuntu60), mdadm (<< 2.6.7-2)

grub-doc is currently at version 0.97-29ubuntu60 (since Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), and depends on grub-legacy-doc. It is therefore installable.

The bug you describe was indeed present in Ubuntu 9.10 (bug 493968), but has since been fixed.
