i'm not sure this is a bug, i didn't ever needed a to choose partition.

can i ask why you would want to have the bootloader in a partition? i mean, 
how are you going to boot into it, if it's not on MBR?

but if you feel it is a bug or missing feature, please file it on our bugzilla.

is this a known thing? can you submit a bug if there isn't one already? or am 
i misunderstanding your remark?

are these mdv build packages? perhaps some of these should be built on mageia, 
perhaps you can find out which you wouldn't want to remove? (or did you 
actually remove them?)

that's definately a bug, can you file it? if you did remove those orphaned 
packages, perhaps it's related to this?
