Hi. the  Proposed updates do result in a bootable system.

I have just re-tested,

Blank drive - fresh install

- after install I chrooted into install (with efi, /dev,/sys,/proc mounted )
[in chroot]
- I added saucy-proposed to sources.list 
- updated all grub packages from saucy-proposed
- rebooted

OS Boots fine!

System boots however adds a new 'kubuntu' + 'ubuntu' UEFI entry.

I cannot get rid of the 'ubuntu' entry - if I delete it with efibootmgr
or bcfg it returns on reboot -  whilst the /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu folder
exists.

The 'ubuntu' UEFI entry only appeared after installing the updated grub
packages.

Both 'ubuntu' and the 2 'kubuntu' UEFI entries now boot to kubuntu
13.10.

I haven't installed ubuntu (was a blanked disk and I had also removed
all UEFI entries pre install
