[Bug 1340734] Re: oem-config missing from installed system after OEM mode setup using EFI boot

[Cam Scott]

I am seeing the same problem on servers with a UEFI BIOS and on virtualbox VMs when EFI is enabled in System->Motherboard->Extended Features. 
Tested with ubuntu-12.04.5-server-amd64.iso and ubuntu-14.04.2-server-amd64.iso, same issue seen in both cases.
Is there a work around for this issue?

Title:
  oem-config missing from installed system after OEM mode setup using
  EFI boot

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Scenario: d-i EFI netboot with oem-config/enable=true

  Problem: After the install completes and reboots into the OEM
  configuration temporary user, there is no icon on the desktop to
  invoke oem-config-prepare - indeed, oem-config is not even installed.

  Cause: oem-config-udeb installs a finish-install.d script which runs
  'apt-install oem-config-gtk ubiquity-frontend-gtk', however this
  fails. It turns out to be a dependency issue. ubiquity depends on
  'grub-pc | grub | grub-efi', however grub-efi is now a dummy
  transitional package and is not installed (the actual package is grub-
  efi-amd64). The APT resolver makes a bad choice, and tries to install
  grub-pc (the BIOS boot version), uninstalling the EFI version. This
  fails, leaving oem-config not installed.

  An adequate (if somewhat inelegant) solution should be to replace
  grub-efi in ubiquities dependencies with all possible platform
  varieties of grub-efi-<ARCH>.
