Title:
  grub-install documentation is truncated or too succint

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Concerning the documentation for 'grub-install' :

  Inside 'grub.info.gz' :
  -  Thank you very much for chapter '4.1 Installing GRUB using grub-install' :  This really provides useful information.
  -  But chapter '23 Invoking grub-install' is regrettably truncated :  It mentions only options --help, --version, --boot-directory, --recheck and --no-rs-codes.

  Inside the 'Manual page grub-install(8)' :
  -  Many options are listed, but the description is much too succinct to be useful.
  -  The whole text between 'grub-install [OPTION...] [OPTION] [INSTALL_DEVICE]' and '-s, --skip-fs-probe do not probe for filesystems in DEVICE' is duplicated.

  Can you describe all 'grub-install' options into 'grub.info.gz' ?
  Can you fully replicate this information in the 'Manual page grub-install(8)' ?
  Thank you in advance.
