Public bug reported:

Upgrading "linux-image-generic" forces removal of "grub-efi-amd64" in
Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn.  However, replacement of "grub-efi-amd64"
with "grub-pc" would render the system unbootable, because UEFI boot
process requires "grub-efi".

Similar bug has apparently existed in earlier Ubuntu versions (e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532903 and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/800910 ), but it
seems to have resurfaced.  Some more information can be found at
