Public bug reported:

When deploying a server with more than 1 disk, using whole disk images,
the selected boot device from storage configuration is ignored, and
curtin writes the disk image to the first block device in the list.

The devpath is correctly identified here:

https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/tree/curtin/commands/block_meta.py#n1950

and it is completely ignored, because len(devices) is > 1, and it
selects the first disk from the list of a sorted args.devices here:

https://git.launchpad.net/curtin/tree/curtin/commands/block_meta.py#n1997

** Affects: curtin
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Summary changed:

- grub_device ignored when args.devices != 0
+ grub_device ignored when args.devices != 0 and args.devices > 1
