Title:
  Upgrading linux-image-generic forces removal of grub-efi-amd64

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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
