That doesn't seem to be a problem which got introduced with these patches? I. e. if you didn't have grub on the "other" device, it formerly would fail to boot, too? I am a bit nervous about automatically changing the boot sector of already installed systems, TBH. There might be cases where people explicitly configured it that way. So adding a postinst snippet to detect this situation is fine, of course. Or is the problem that configuration files actually *say* "please install grub on all devices", but we just didn't? In that case this change would be okay for me.
