[Bug 1893954] [NEW] grub-pc installed, rather than grub-efi-amd64, in UEFI computer

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I've made a fresh new install of Ubuntu 20.04 on my UEFI desktop
computer. Which works, but some wrong packages seem to be installed: The
grub-pc package, which is meant for older, BIOS-based computers, is
installed. It should be grub-efi-amd64 instead.

bug, but not a packaging bug."
