Bug#590554: mixed grub versions

Tue Aug 3 22:33:02 UTC 2010

More specifically, at least in our case, 1.97 grub-probe returns
"(hd0,msdos1)".  Legacy grub-install isn't prepared to handle that
format.

I hacked the update-grub script on my problem-du-jour machine to rewrite
"msdos1" into "0" (actually, it does the math on the supplied digits),
and that seems to solve the problem.  As my hack adds a perl command,
I'm guessing a cleaner solution will be wanted for distribution.
