So that means that grub-install would need to read some other file maybe
/etc/default/grub-install to know if it has to ignore stage1_5 or not.
Then I add a --ignore-stage1_5 option  to setup command and that's it.

I think that /etc/default/grub-install should be sourced from grub-
install at its first line and that would be fine.

Do you have any more ideas till I actually code this, well, finish
coding it?
