Kernel update fails due to grub update

Status in grub package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
LTSP client is running Ubuntu 11.04
I had problems during an update in the chroot that wanted to update to
kernel 2.6.38-11.50. This was the first time a kernel update was
performed on this image so it's the first time I could run into this
problem.
The installation process runs /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub,
which exits with an error because it can't find the root partition.
There is no root partition mounted because the update is performed in
chroot.
I had the same problem when I tried to perform the update on a running
client system. In this case the problem was due to root being on an
aufs disk rather than on an actual harddisk.
I came to the conclusion that an LTSP image doesn't have to have a
working grub because it doesn't boot from disk. My solution: „chmod -x
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub“.
If my thinking is correct I suggest that zz-update-grub be removed
from the directory when the LTSP client tree is first created.
