Package: grml2usb
Version: 0.14.10
Severity: grave
There seems to be a regression when executing grml2usb on
systems being Debian/jessie or newer, quite often causing syslinux
to fail its execution:
| [...]
| Installing default MBR
| Installing syslinux as bootloader
| syslinux: /dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
| Fatal: Error executing syslinux (either try --fat16 or use grub?)
The installation of the MBR causes pending writes not being finished
before syslinux is executed.
This simple change fixes the problem:

grml2usb shouldn't be released with Debian/jessie without this
change, I'm planning to upload a grml2usb package to unstable
including this fix and will submit an unblock request.
