Error message added and mbr set as automatically enabled if extlinux is
enabled. I'll add mbr to the dependency list in debian/control for the
next upload - unless jessie is released first, in which case I'll move
grub to default and extlinux & mbr to Recommends. (Need to make a
number of manpage additions before I can upload.)

We may need to drop the mbr option and just fold it into extlinux as it
looks like there is no other use for mbr and extlinux (now) fails
without it.
