Title:
  server-installer: grub installed to wrong target

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installation media: Daily server (Vivid) 64bit

  Using the guided option to use the whole disk and LVM (did not try
  anything else, yet) brings up the dialog box about installing grub to
  the MBR at the end. However, despite selecting "yes" there, the
  installation is attempted to the first logical partition (which is the
  LVM PV), which fails (probably because of the failing safety check).

  So for that VM grub-install should go into /dev/vda but is attempted
  into /dev/vda5.
