The bug was seen in 4.0~beta2+experimental23 . I have verified that
neither the current experimental (4.0~beta2+experimental41) nor the
version in squeeze (3.4.4) make use of device2grub. I think the version
of GRUB_PC/10-setup in experimental should be preferred over the version
in 3.4.4 because it installs Grub into $BOOT_DEVICE, thus solving the
problem which was recently discussed on the linux-fai list with subject
"host does not boot with grub_pc and /dev/sdd as boot disk".

I agree that the bug can be closed.
