[Bug 808059] [NEW] update-grub is not run when kernel is installed or removed

[Vasya Pupkin]

Public bug reported:

Most Xen hosters require legacy grub for PyGrub to work. I have grub
package installed instead of grub-pc. I can manually run update-grub and
it does the job correctly. But when new kernel is installed, or when old
is removed, update-grub is not called. I lost my configured VPS after
removing old kernel and forgetting to manually run update-grub. It
should be run automatically, like when grub-pc package is installed.
