[Bug 1759877] [NEW] grub-pc fails to upgrade with raid disks

[MarkS]

Public bug reported:

When performing a regular upgrade an upgrade to grub-pc was scheduled.
When this got to configuring it reported "grub-install: error: disk
`md0' not found." for all 4 /dev/sdX devices in the system. The 4 drives
have a RAID1 array for /boot and a RAID5 LVM device for the rest of the
storage, so grub needs to be installed in the boot sector for all four
drives.

Running grub-install manually for the drives resutls in -

# grub-install /dev/sda                                                                                               
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: error: disk `md0' not found.

So, this doesn't fill me with confidence that the server is going to
reboot nicely without intervention from a rescue disk.
