Bug#1039710: debian-installer: Grub installation fails and /var/log/syslog is empty



Roland Clobus <rclobus@rclobus.nl> (2023-06-28):
> My findings so far:

> * At the moment of the failure, the /var/log folder contains only 3 files [3]:

> partman and Xorg.0.log

busybox seems to me like the most likely suspect here. deb-reversion'ing
bookworm's version as a version that's newer than the one in unstable,
stashing its binaries under build/localudebs and building say a
netboot(-gtk) image should be a quick way to test that hypothesis.
