Public bug reported:
With the daily Kubuntu 14.04 installer I tried to install with a btrfs
root filesystem and a swap partition (there's also a Dell specific DOS
partition, but I'm leaving that alone) the installer says it fails to
install grub.

Needless to say the system fails to boot after that. :-(
