(Get the code!)
Emmet pinged me on this bug as part of the SRU regression process.
After careful analysis, this bug doesn't seem to impact a large user base.
I run grub2 ubuntu6 on a GPT system myself, and I don't seem to be affected (but it ain't a MacBook, and these systems might be special). John Dong on IRC also tried reproducing, but couldn't. I suggested he backups his /var/cache/debconf before upgrading to the ubuntu6 update though.
I considered simply fixing the bug tonight, but it doesn't seem easy to reproduce on non-MacBook systems, and the code is subtle, so it seemed sensible to defer for 8 hours to get Colin to have a look.
I considered reverting the fix, but the bug addressed by the SRU seems much more severe than this one (breaking widely available Dell pre-installed 9.10 Ubuntu systems), so we seem to be better off with breaking a smaller number of MacBooks.
I will mail cjwatson to tell him about the bug and will ping him tomorrow morning about this regression.
