Title:
  Update replaced grub-efi with grub-pc causing boot failure.

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  After a fresh install of Alpha2, I performed an update and the system
  would no longer boot... so after a fresh install, I tried the update
  with synaptic to see what it proposed to do.  To my surprise it
  removed grub-efi, and replaced it with grub-pc.  It seems pretty
  obvious that this is somewhat counter productive!
