in later releases grub-install has stopped forking to call efibootmgr in
favor of using an EFI library.

Does it return non-zero error code? because it should be ignoring
failure to call efibootmgr. And otherwise grub installation was
completed.

efibootmgr recommends has been added back in Debian, but not yet in
Ubuntu. becuase in general it is useful. Previously the dependency was
on the grub-efi-arm64-bin package Depends: efibootmgr which is not there
in the binary copies.

Imho src:grub2 in xenial/bionic should depend on efibootmgr on amd64 &
arm64, or we should add efibootmgr dep in the grub2-unsigned package.

Upgrades should not be affected, since efibootmgr will not be removed.
But fresh installs are affected, like the newly respun cloud-image.
