This is pathological behavior on the part of the firmware.  If the system is
configured in UEFI mode, it should prefer UEFI consistently for all devices,
not just for removable ones.  The problem statement in this bug is incorrect
- ubiquity *should* install grub-efi when booted under UEFI.

The only reasonable way to address this problem would be to consistently
install both grub-pc and grub-efi on all amd64 systems, regardless of how
they're booted at install time.
