Aha, the old "works for me" defence :)

It came up on this list very recently, where someone had to use a live CD
to fix GRUB after ignoring/missing the elog warnings.

WARN: postinst
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: you must run grub and install
the new version's stage1 to your MBR.  Until you do,
stage1 and stage2 will still be the old version, but
later stages will be the new version, which could
cause problems such as an unbootable system.
