This is odd, I will check into why this is now happening, I am not
entirely sure why, but I might be able to find the solution soon.

Oh, right I forgot to add in the dependencies

This is a step back... I am not entirely sure why, but I did slightly
modify the build scripts, so I will check it out.

Could you test running:
 /usr/share/OBI/grub-installer ${device}
where device is /dev/sda (or whatever device you are using... I know you
know this, but in case someone is following the conversation)
my thinking is that running update-grub twice might solve this issue.

The other improvement I see is that no one has complained about OBI. 
This means my initial effort to migrate it to become translatable has at
least mostly worked (at least not regressing).  I did change a bit of
actual code:
You originally had (in two files)
LANG=C; LC_ALL=C
But in order to let the translations work I check them first and then
export things to default back to english if all else fails that way OBI
will have text by default.
[[ -z "${LANG}" ]] && LANG=C
[[ -z "${LC_ALL}" ]] && LC_ALL=C
LANGUAGE=$LC_ALL:$LANG:en_US    export LANGUAGE

Nio, do you think the extra information dialogs are a good addition?
