grub-invaders installs without problem.

Looking at the grub-install: It seems that os-prober (run
by update-grub) starts a "grub-mount" tool that keeps on
running, even though the update-grub already did an exit.
ps -ef showed me a few of these:

        grub-mount /dev/mapper/vg00-root2 /var/lib/os-prober/mount

If I kick out os-prober then the old memtest86+ postinst
doesn't get stuck.

So I would suggest to reassign this bug to os-prober.
Version is 1.54.

But I've got one question: Why does the postinst script
run update-grub at all? Ain't this supposed to be triggered
at the end of the whole apt-get install session instead?
