Hi spotter,

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.

Dapper shipped with grub 0.97, so if you see 0.92 on boot, it did not
come from dapper.  This makes it exceedingly difficult for us to fix
problematic boot blocks as part of the upgrade, because there's nothing
currently in place to check for signatures on existing boot blocks, the
problem can't be detected based on the old version of the grub package
installed, and unconditionally overwriting boot blocks on upgrade also
carries with it some risk of rendering the system unbootable.

So I'm afraid I don't see any way that we can address this problem for
hardy.  Suggestions (or patches!) are welcome.
