[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-kernel-meta 1/5] proxmox-boot: ignore call to grub-install from grub maintscripts

[Stoiko Ivanov <s.ivanov@proxmox.com>]

in certain cases the postinst script of grub-pc runs grub-install on
the disks it gets from debconf. Simply warn and exit with 0 if
grub-install is called by dpkg and from a grub related package
