Hi,

grub is not responsible for the message nor the fsck requirement.

It is completely in the area of how in this case the Linux distribution setup 
its boot process.
With a modern filesystem type there is no need for fsck runs and you can 
disable this during boot per configuration. Every journal is better than what 
fsck might accomplish.
This might be doable in /etc/fstab. But this is in the area of the 
distributions and the individual setup, so have a look in their documentation, 
wikis and other community support.
Also ask in this case Debian if they'd like to provide a translated boot 
process.

On an end-user-friendly Linux installation the user shouldn't see anything 
about grub. At least if there are no dual boot requirements.

So I hope any ambiguities are removed. ;-)
