[Bug 916299] [NEW] Ubiquity uses grub-efi instead of grub-pc on non-GPT disk

[YannUbuntu]

Public bug reported:

a user installed Ubuntu in dual-boot with Windows on a non-GPT computer. 
The default installation failed (no access to Ubuntu), and broke access to Windows.

Here is the Boot-Info-Script summary after installation:
- stable: http://paste.ubuntu.com/803082
- GIT version: http://paste.ubuntu.com/803319/

It seems that Ubiquity should have installed grub-pc instead of grub-
efi.
