No; ubiquity installs it just fine. The problem comes when it *fails*
to install it ( typically because you asked it to install grub to the
wrong place ) and you manually install grub yourself, possibly via a
third party repair tool like grub-repair. That is when things go
wrong but you don't realize it because grub works... until it's time
to upgrade.
