Title:
  repetitive calling of zz-update-grub

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  with
  GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true
  the time wasted is significantly reduced, but repetitive calling of zz-update-grub is still an unnecessary annoying waste of time.

  perhaps the solution could be something like defer it and trigger it
  at the end.

  here's an example of repetitive calling of zz-update-grub:
    #  apt-get --purge --auto-remove install stalonetray
