apt-install uses chroot_setup, via in-target. The apt-get output goes
to stderr (due to 'debconf-apt-progress --logstderr') and thence to
syslog and doesn't interfere with grub_probe. By contrast, the
dpkg-divert output went to stdout.

Besides, chroot_setup is the only thing anywhere around here that
changed recently; I'd have guessed at that myself if Scott hadn't beaten
me to it!
