Broken grub2 from Debian/unstable (yeah, I talked to grub
developers) where grub can't be installed to PTR anymore.
Option --force should fix that but that's broken as well.
So I can't do anything against your broken grub2 version. ;)

Thorsten and I are thinking about how to get rid of this grub2 hell,
yeah - it sucks. :(
