Title:
  Offer a "reinstall GRUB" option on the installation ISOs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Some users are using Ubuntu/Kubuntu on multiboot systems along with
  some flavour of Windows.  One problem with Windows is that when it is
  reinstalled, it hijacks the boot process.  This forces any linux user
  to reinstall GRUB just to be able to use any OS besides Microsoft's.

  As this is a major problem which linux users are forced to endure,
  they tend to rely on Ubuntu's installation media to try to fix this
  problem.  The thing is, Ubuntu's installation media lacks a "reinstall
  GRUB" option, which then forces ubuntu users to either jump through
  hoops to retake their computer or, worse yet, force a reinstallation
  from scratch.

  It would be nice if Ubuntu/Kubuntu's ISOs all offered a "reinstall
  GRUB" option.
