Sorry, I forgot about partition selection. Both things are handled separately,
and both of them might need to be adjusted.
But this is not the right place for that either. grub-install determines
partitions with:
GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 grub-probe --device-map=${device_map}
-t drive -d "$1"
and update-grub determines partitions with:
GRUB_LEGACY_0_BASED_PARTITIONS=1 grub-probe --device-map=${device_map}
-t drive -d "$1" 2> /dev/null || {
In both cases, it's grub-probe you want to fix. There are other code paths,
but they're not essential, and we're not currently supporting them.
Note: grub-probe uses a generic heuristic that works for most device paths,
it's possible that no change is needed there.

The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us. We will decide when (and
how) you may access your data; but nobody's threatening your freedom: we
still allow you to remove your data and not access it at all."
