Comment 19 for bug 26058

The problem you are describing it is explained here: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/WindowsErasesGrub

The last wilbur_nether quote is a first approach to bug. Grub can be hacked so that by default it links to stage2 and omits stage1_5 files but, whatever the reason is, is always better to have stage1_5 files there.

Grub can also be modified so that it has a new option that ignores stage1_5 as Super Grub Disk has been modified. And then grub-install could also be modified with a new option.

Do you think is it worth this work? I mean, it cost me nothing to write it. It is already written (The grub part not the grub-install one).

But... is it a thing that affects so many people?
If we decide this feature to be default Is it worth not using stage1_5?

Waiting for your answers and opinnions and maybe the Ubuntu grub package maintainer.
