Repeat of Lucid testcase 3 (different partition than windows' main drive):

Testcase 3: Lucid 10.04.2 on E: drive (ntfs partition /dev/sda3)
=============================================
Grub version in wubildr at install 1.98-1ubuntu5
Grub version in Ubuntu at install 1.98-1ubuntu10
debconf-show grub-pc ---> install-devices:  <blank>

Test method:
Add Proposed to sources,through synaptic (not running other updates)
Latest version of grub-pc shown as 1.98-1ubuntu12
Latest version of lupin-support is 0.29.1
Select grub-pc (which includes) grub-common and lupin-support and
applied updates.

Expected result:
===========
1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 will be updated (that's C:)
2. grub modules added to /boot/grub
3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg changes as expected with new modules present.
4. No prompt to install grub to /dev/sda

Results:
=====
1. wubildr on /dev/sda2 updated to 1.98-1ubuntu12
2. grub modules added to /boot/grub as expected
3. /boot/grub/grub.cfg changed as expected
4. There was no prompt to install grub to /dev/sda
 (grub is now version 1.98-1ubuntu12)

Conclusion:
========
The test was successful.

PS I will try and run the maverick failed test case next. The "same
partition" tests will be run last, probably later this evening
(pacific time).
