The package version of grub does nothing to tell you which version of
grub is actually installed in the boot sector.
That doesn't matter: When libguestfs runs its installation of grub,
the boot sector will be overwritten. What matters is the versions of
stage1/1.5/2 files in the guest, which is adequately described by
identifying the RPM.
