GRUB: use persistent device names under /dev/disk/by-id/ for install_devices
We pass the requested --grub … device argument to the GRUB package
configuration, like:
| # debconf-show grub-pc | grep grub-pc/install_devices:
| * grub-pc/install_devices: /dev/sda
But the GRUB package tries to use /dev/disk/by-id/... for
install_devices setting (since 2010 and Debian/squeeze AFAICS), as can
be observed by reconfiguring the GRUB package (which then automatically
converts the /dev/sdX to the proper /dev/disk/by-id/... device when
being asked in the debconf prompt):
| # dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc
| grub-pc: Running grub-install ...

Disable ext4 metadata_csum_seed for Debian releases older than bookworm
As of e2fsprogs v1.43 and Linux kernel v4.4 the ext4 file system supports
the new metadata_csum_seed feature (which allows the file system UUID to
be modified without needing to update all of the file system metadata).
Also see https://bugs.debian.org/1031325
Starting with e2fsprogs v1.47 this new metadata_csum_seed feature gets
enabled by default. When installing an older Debian release this might
cause problems because it's not fully supported yet, see e.g. the GRUB
failure documented as #866603.
To keep the behavior identical to Debian, we do not enable the
metadata_csum_seed feature for Debian releases before bookworm. This is
relevant for us, as grml-debootstrap might be running from a more recent
Debian release (like a Debian testing/unstable based Grml live system).
We check for the e2fsprogs version as versions before 1.43 didn't support
the metadata_csum_seed option yet.

VMs: create partition with alignment starting at 4MiB + ending at 100%
Our partition creation process inside VMs used parted with "mkpart
primary ext4 2M -1", which could end up with unaligned partitions (as
reported in #185):
| (parted) mkpart primary ext4 2M -1
| Warning: The resulting partition is not properly aligned for best performance: 3906s % 4096s != 0s
This depends on the I/O settings of the underlying storage.
The mkpart start at "2M" is interpreted as 2 Megabyte (2000000 bytes or
3906 sectors) from the disk start. The end "-1" is interpreted as 1
Megabyte (1000000 bytes or 1953 sectors) before the disk end.
On the other hand, "2MiB" is interpreted as 2 Mebibyte (2097152 bytes or
4096 sectors) from the disk start, and "100%" is interpreted as the disk
end.
Quoting from https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/unit.html:
| Parted will compute sensible ranges for the locations you specify (e.g.,
| a range of +/- 500 MB when you specify the location in “G”, and a range
| of +/- 500 KB when you specify the location in “M”) and will select the
| nearest location in this range from the one you wrote that satisfies
| constraints from both the operation, the filesystem being worked on, the
| disk label, other partitions and so on.
| [...]
| Note that as of parted-2.4, when you specify start and/or end values
| using IEC binary units like “MiB”, “GiB”, “TiB”, etc., parted treats
| those values as exact, and equivalent to the same number specified in
| bytes (i.e., with the “B” suffix), in that it provides no “helpful”
| range of sloppiness. Contrast that with a partition start request of
| “4GB”, which may actually resolve to some sector up to 500MB before or
| after that point. Thus, when creating a partition, you should prefer
| to specify units of bytes (“B”), sectors (“s”), or IEC binary units
| like “MiB”, but not “MB”, “GB”, etc.
Furthermore quoting from https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_node/mkpart.html#FOOT2:
| Cheap flash drives will be with us for a long time to come, and, for
| them, 1MiB alignment is not enough. Use at least 4MiB-aligned
| partitions. For details, see Arnd Bergman’s article,
| http://lwn.net/Articles/428584/ and its many comments.
A better default should be usage of an IEC binary unit with a
4MiB-aligned partition, so let's switch to "4MiB 100%".

Fix Grml repository usage
More recent versions of apt no longer accept unsigned repositories, and fail with:
| The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
21E0CA38EA2EA4AB
| Reading package lists... Done
| W: GPG error: http://deb.grml.org grml-stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
21E0CA38EA2EA4AB
| E: The repository 'http://deb.grml.org grml-stable InRelease' is not signed.
| N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.
| N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
By enabling the Acquire::AllowInsecureRepositories=1 option, we can avoid this failure:
| W: GPG error: http://deb.grml.org grml-stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY
21E0CA38EA2EA4AB

While at it:
* simplify code
* don't check for "grml" inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/grml.list,
instead assume the file was set up as needed if it exists already
* improve apt pinning configuration:
- no need to pin Grml *and* Debian repositories, instead let's
set up only the Grml repository and reduce it to a pinning of 100
- use /etc/apt/preferences.d/grml.pref instead of /etc/apt/preferences
* drop direct gpg usage, this is error prone (gpg keyservers known to be
unavailable, we might not have gpg executable available, its code is
fallback and untested,...)
* set up Grml's apt configuration with usage of
"signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/grml-archive-keyring.gpg"

Drop leftover KEYRING code
KEYRING is no longer relevant and a leftover from commit
06fc8bd266ad5.
If someone wants to customize the keyring handling of debootstrap,
this can be achieved via --debopt / DEBOOTSTRAP_OPT.
