[Bug 1292071] [NEW] grub-mknetdir doesn't clean given target directory before installing new grub files

[Thomas Schweikle]

Public bug reported:

running command

grub-mknetdir --net-directory=/data/tftp

does not clean created "boot/grub/*"-directory before installing new
files. If the directory existed all files not overwritten remain. This
may lead to crashes if scripts load old remaining modules later on.
