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 mean when a kernel upgrade happens it forces removal of it, over a recommended bootloader - despite the fact that grub-efi-* is perfectly valid, and is required for EFI booting.
