[Bug 759885] [NEW] grub-legacy-ec2 does not create /boot/grub on install

[Scott Moser]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: cloud-init

recent uec-images builds have been failing on grub-legacy-ec2
installation like:

| Searching for GRUB installation directory ... 
| No GRUB directory found. To create a template run 'mkdir /boot/grub' first.
|  To install grub, install it manually or try the 'grub-install' command. ###
|  Warning, grub-install is used to change your MBR. ###
|

I need to add /boot/grub to grub-legacy-ec2.  it only worked previously
because grub-pc (or grub-common) was getting  installed and creating
that dir for it.
