yes. this was a bug in packaging which I couldnt get time to fix. But installing grass-gui package will help to solve the problem.
sudo apt-get install grass-gui sudo apt-get install grass should install everything as this is a virtual package but it not doing it right way. I may find some time this week to fix these and merge some very important patches from debianGIS. To sum up for now you need to install grass like apt-get install grass-core grass-gui Let me know if this works so that i can confirm this issue.
