Public bug reported:
I'm currently experiencing an issue with installing kernel updates on
natty.
It seems to want to force install grub-pc -- ignoring the fact that
grub-efi is installed.
Looking at the dsc for the kernels at present, it seems linux-image-*
recommends grub , grub-pc or lilo, but omits grub-efi which means when a
kernel upgrade happens it forces removal of it for a recommended
bootloader - despite the fact that grub-efi-* is perfectly valid, and is
required for EFI booting.
