[Bug 613463] Re: [10.10 - Alpha 3 (candidate)] Prompts misleading grub dialogs during UEC Node installation.

[Colin Watson]

I see that people are asking around on IRC for somebody else to deal
with this.  Could you please be patient instead until I get back from
holiday next week?  Getting out of sync with Debian here would be very
painful, and Daniel Baumann and I already have plans to put together a
new bootloader-common package containing a debconf question so that you
can select which (or none) of multiple installed boot loaders owns the
MBR.  I'm leaning towards this rather than having to more or less double
the number of binary packages generated by grub2, but if that turns out
not to be good enough to fix eucalyptus' problem then I would like to
spend some time thinking about it and have the chance to make a change
in consultation with other folks in Debian, since sooner or later d-i is
going to need something similar and therefore this needs a considered
change that solves the whole problem.

Given the linked script, there should be no reason why you can't abandon
your current approach and instead depend on grub-rescue-pc, take the
pregenerated rescue floppy image that's already there, and use mtools to
insert your loader.img and replacement configuration file.  I advised
Scott to this effect at the sprint and I haven't seen any explanation of
why this wouldn't work.
