Bug Description

When mdadm (3.2.5-5ubuntu3) is installed in a bootstrap/live Trusty environment, it fails. It's because update-grub is run. However, in a bootstrap/live system, although grub is installed, actually it's not use for the boot loader. Therefore update-grub fails.
Attached please find the patch to fix this error.
My 2 cents.

Steven.
