Bug description:
  I'm currently experiencing an issue with installing kernel updates on
  natty.

  It seems to want to force install grub-pc -- ignoring the fact that
  grub-efi is installed.

  Looking at the dsc for the kernels at present, it seems linux-image-*
  recommends grub , grub-pc or lilo, but omits grub-efi which means when
  a kernel upgrade happens it forces removal of it for a recommended
  bootloader - despite the fact that grub-efi-* is perfectly valid, and
  is required for EFI booting.

  Linux Jarvis 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:24 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  keith@Jarvis:~$ apt-cache show linux-image-2.6.38-10-generic | grep Recommends
  Recommends: grub-pc | grub | lilo (>= 19.1)
