Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: grub
Grub (v1) package now occupies a massive amount of disk space (9.10 karmic
beta).
Version is 0.97-29ubuntu57, stated size is 540 MB.
Most of this comes from the massive files put in /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc, see
listing below.
These simply look wrong. Previous (jaunty) files are all less than 10kbyte
except the two stage2* files which are 121kb.
test:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/
total 1446264

I hit this when my 4G root filesystem filled up after updating jaunty to karmic
beta, installing grub2 then running updates.
I've not tried regressing on the offchance that this was caused by the grub2
update. I've removed grub and grub2, and trying to re-install grub gets the
same problem, and fills the root partition again. So I'm suspecting it's a
packaging error or error in a post-processing script.
