Public bug reported: The kubuntu-desktop package has a Recommends dependency on memtest86+, which is not really usable on modern systems with UEFI. If that package is installed, update-grub displays warnings such as this:
Memtest86+ needs a 16-bit boot, that is not available on EFI, exiting And no memtest86+ entry is added to the grub boot loader. Consider removing this dependency on memtest86+.
