Title:
  update-grub runs and fails in containers

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “lxc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  If grub is installed in a container (as happens, for instance, with
  the ubuntu-cloud template) then an update of grub or linux-image will
  cause update-grub to be run.  It tries, finds it can't access the root
  device, fails, and causes the update to fail.

  It would be better for update-grub to detect that it is in a container
  and simply exit 0, so that the apt-get can succeed.  I'm attaching a
  debdiff which does that.
