manually installing grub works like this:
# grub-install --force --removable --boot-directory=/boot /dev/sda Installing for i386-pc platform. Installation finished. No error reported.
meanwhile as a workaround I have symlinked /var/lib/dpkg/info/grub-pc.postinst to /bin/true so other apt commands can succeed.
