Title:
  Install in UEFI mode installs grub-pc

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installing Kubuntu 15.04 to a self built machine with Gigabyte GA-
  F2A85X-UP4 motherboard with new 4TB disk.

  Got machine to boot DVD in UEFI mode and when into "Try Ubuntu" mode
  so that I could check it was running in UEFI.  Then hit "Install
  Kubuntu".  Used manual partitioning,  created new partition table and
  set up partitions, including EFI.  Completed install and rebooted.

  Machine booted OK but when checked it was not running in EFI mode.
  Disk had been formatted as GPT, EFI partition created and mounted but
  empty.  grub-pc had been installed, not grub-efi.

  I manually removed grub-pc and installed grub-efi, plus a few tweaks,
  and everything then OK.
