On a system that dual boots Linux and Windows 10, the latest grub-efi gives
this error:

error: symbol 'grub_efi_find_last_device_path' not found

when attempting to boot Windows 10 after an update-grub is performed.  Linux
will boot correctly;  however,  an attempt to boot Windows 10 will give this
error and say "press any key..." and bring one back to the OS menu.

There is a workaround, which is to downgrade back to 2.02~beta2-32, and
Windows will boot correctly.
This clearly indicates that GRUB is incorrectly installed in some way,
because you could only get a symbol mismatch such as this if the GRUB
image you're actually booting from doesn't match the modules it tries to
load from /boot/grub/ at run-time.  I would suggest digging around in
your EFI System Partition to see if there's a manually-copied version in
there somewhere.

I definitely did not copy anything manually into the EFI System Partition; if a rogue file got into there -- or if something didn't get updated there that should have -- it happened via process. A downgrade back to 32 worked fine, an upgrade to 33 broke down, bothe of these performed using dpkg/apt-get. About all I can say.
