Bug Description

During an 18.04.1 installation I noticed that the log contains four copies of --usage or / --help output for 'grub-install'. I would assume this is not intended. Logs are attached.

This is expected.

The underlying installer (curtin) invokes grub command line interface to determine what flags may or maynot be available. This allows curtin to support installing Ubuntu from 12.04 to current release with different versions of grub being available.

In general I think we have some work to do to make the logs more useful for users. Perhaps we can talk about that at the next sprint?
