Basically, currently the Debian/Ubuntu approach is that different
platforms need different boot setups; e.g. legacy BIOS vs. EFI, ARM vs
x86, this or that specific platform needs this or that specific boot
package.

The way the right packages for boot get pulled on live images and on
debian-installer images is by running the logic in udeb packages (flash-
kernel-installer.postinst).

Either you dont need a boot update solution, and then you should not installed 
it as outlined in:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1160488/comments/3
or you do need a boot files update solution, and then if you opted to pull 
flash-kernel you should call its logic to pick which extra packages are needed 
for your platform.

This aint very convenient, but it's the current design; it's shared with
Debian and it's an area where we're trying to avoid divergence
(installer stuff).
