Likely the following code block can be removed, because likely the grub issue was fixed in jessie:
- https://github.com/Whonix/anon-shared-build-fix-grub/blob/bec926b41f7d8c2f9edfcb29ab6ead6f062076c3/usr/lib/anon-dist/chroot-scripts-post.d/90_fix_grub#L53-60
- https://github.com/Whonix/anon-shared-build-fix-grub/blob/bec926b41f7d8c2f9edfcb29ab6ead6f062076c3/usr/lib/anon-dist/chroot-scripts-post.d/90_fix_grub#L64-78
If so, creation of the whole backup folder /var/lib/anon-dist/grub-backup would also be unnecessary.
If that is so, the only remaining action rm --force "/boot/grub/device.map" could perhaps be moved to whonix-initializer and so the anon-shared-build-fix-grub package could be deprecated.
