Comment 181 for bug 1289977

Whenever a fix for this is released, be sure not to mark the bug as fixed UNTIL it is guarantee that anybody that has had to run thorough any of the workarounds described in this thread won't end up with the system screwed up again AT THE NEXT DIST UPGRADE (because of the reinstall of grub or whatever). Fixing this bug means also making sure that everything is fixed for those who were hit.

Also, this must block the release of the next distribution upgrade, i.e. upgrade to 14.10 must NOT be released until this bug is made sure to be completely fixed (in the sense specified above).
