Title:
  MBR is overridden even if it shouldn't be

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: grub-pc

  I installed ubuntu and choose to put GRUB on my partition /dev/sda5 because I have multiple installations of linux.
  When the packages grub-pc and grub-common were updated, I got the MBR overridden.

  This should never happen!
  Ubuntu should save where GRUB was last installed and update only that place.
