Debian: Satisfy GRUB dependencies from stable

jwittlincohen said:
 The Howto instructs users to install grub-pc from Testing, but the
 command used also installs all of its dependencies from Testing, even
 though they can be satisfied from Stable. One of the consequences of
 this is that a version of libfuse2 is installed which is incompatible
 with Gnome and even the more limited Gnome-Core. I'm sure there are
 other package management issues but this is the only one I ran into.

Closes #5851

This intentionally installs GRUB twice: once from `stable` and then from `testing`. This ensures that dependencies are satisfied from `stable`, if possible, which avoids some conflicts with other packages.
