This is fixed in Ubuntu now (and hopefully I'll get the same patch into
Debian in the not too distant future); we now ask if you really mean it
if you don't select any devices.
grub2 (1.98~20100128-1ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
[...]
* Don't generate /boot/grub/device.map during grub-install by default.
* Store grub-pc/install_devices as persistent device names under
/dev/disk/by-id/ (LP: #496435). Migrate previous device names to that,
with explicit confirmation in non-trivial cases to make sure we got the
right ones. If the devices we were told to install to ever go away, ask
again.
* If the user opts to install GRUB nowhere, make sure they really mean it.
* Backport disk read fixes from upstream.
