Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * /etc/kernel/{postinst.d,postrm.d}/zz-update-grub missing on arm64
  with grub-efi-arm64-signed installed, without grub-efi-arm64.

   * /etc/kernel/{postinst.d,postrm.d}/zz-update-grub missing on amd64
  with grub-efi-amd64-signed installed without grub-pc or grub-efi-
  amd64.

   * This results in newly installed kernels not getting added to
  grub.cfg and thus upon reboot one does not boot into the new kernel.

   * In later series these scripts moved to grub2-common. Maybe we
  should move these to grub2-common in bionic and earlier too, for
  compatibility with onegrub. Or alternatively grub2-signed should ship
  these in grub-efi-{amd64,arm64}-signed packages too.

  [Test Plan]

   * Install new grubs

   * If testing on arm64 ensure that grub-efi-arm64 is not installed;
  and grub-efi-arm64-signed is installed.

   * If testing on amd64 ensure that grub-efi-amd64 and grub-pc are not
  installed; and grub-efi-amd64-signed is installed.

   * Install a new kernel that was not installed before

   * Observe that grub.cfg is regenerated and new kernel is present

   * Remove an old kernel

   * Observe that grub.cfg is regenerated and new kernel is removed from
  grub.cfg

  [Where problems could occur]

   * These are conffiles. Although nobody should modify them, care
  should be taken when moving conffiles around.

  [Other Info]

   * First reported by klebers
