I am trying to build a custom image using live-build. My basic configuration is 
working well, and I able to obtain a functional .iso image that runs well at 
least in virtualbox. But I'm stuck on one point. I would like to use 
grub-efi-amd64 instead of grub-pc, but am unable to do so. I have tried the 
following:

  1.  Putting grub-efi-amd64 on a .list.chroot file in package-lists.
  2.  Downloading the latest .deb and putting it in packages.chroot.
  3.  Using late_command in preed.cfg to in-target install grub-efi-amd64.

However, none of these have worked - in the installed image it's always grub-pc 
that gets installed. So, I have two questions:

  1.  How exactly does one build an image with grub-efi-amd64 instead of 
grub-pc?
  2.  I am a little confused about including grub-pc as a default - does this 
mean that even for computer with UEFI (I use a windows dual boot), grub-pc 
would be fine, and I don't have to replace that with grub-efi-amd64. If so, 
what exactly is the purpose of grub-efi-amd64?

Thanks.
