Bug#624263: grub-pc: stuck in grub-mkdevicemap at configure time

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.99~rc1-13
Severity: serious

[UPGRADE] grub-pc 1.98+20100804-14 -> 1.99~rc1-13

When upgrading, aptitude gets stuck with:

Setting up grub-pc (1.99~rc1-13) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ...
Replacing config file /etc/default/grub with new version

$ pstree -alp 6275

Nothing suspect from dmesg - any idea how to quickly get more precise
info ? Not sure I can get out of this to retry except by rebooting,
which would be quite a shame...
