I restored the backup of Kubuntu 9 and did the following modifications
before trying to dist-upgrade again:

- Restored the original state of the memtest86+ package so upgrading it cannot 
fail
- As I've said when the problem occured first there was no grub installed 
before dist-upgrade and the dist-upgrade installed "grub-pc" due to 
dependencies and failed. So this time I tried to install "grub-pc" myself first 
and get it to configure properly which I was unable to because "grub-probe /" 
would always fail and the postinstall script depends on it. Therefore I gave up 
with "grub-pc" and installed the normal "grub" package which worked properly, 
maybe because its still the old grub and not grub2.

Then I tried to dist-upgrade again and it WORKED :) So the workaround
for NFS-boot users is: Make sure that "grub" is installed, not "grub-
pc".
