I *REQUIRE* Grub to be its own partition.
The Debian 8.4 installer at least recognizes that some users
would desire Grub to be in its own partition.
Not sure if this is helpful, but could you redo the install in
expert-mode, during which you get to pick and choose among the
installation steps. Then, at the step for installing grub, you
could do that in a shell or, perhaps expert mode gives more
access to the commands being executed?
