Bug#587017: grub-pc: debconf offers to install grub on drives that are RAID members

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.98-1
Severity: normal
During upgrade the grub-pc package offered to install grub on disks that are members of a RAID array. The disks themselves are members - there are no partitions. I have not tested this, but I believe this will make the RAID or the filesystem on it unusable.
If it is not reasonably possible to detect this condition during setup debconf should display a warning about it.
