Previously, the upgrade was locking up when running grub-mkdevicemap

That sounds unlikely; it would mean this is a bug in Linux. Are you sure it
was locked in that call, rather than _after_ it?
You can use gdb to determine. Try building a debug grub-mkdevicemap
(DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip,noopt,debug), run it with gdb and interrupt it
where it has hung, then obtain a backtrace ("bt").
Thanks for the suggestion... I'm not sure how to reproduce the problem
condition as I had done a week's worth of twice-daily upgrades to Debian
unstable before this lock-up.
What does grub-mkdevicemap do?
Arthur.
