Public bug reported:
UEFI-based systems that use grub-efi are unable to take advantage of
this tool. The hard dependency on grub-pc will cause grub-efi to be
uninstalled. I noticed this when I tried a dry-run installation this
evening:
$ apt-get -s install kde-config-grub2
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
