Chris, this is not appropriate handling of a bug that has already been
marked 'triaged' by the developers. Especially since this bug was
reported against an LTS release that is still supported, we should not
be asking users to re-test with a newer release to see if the bug is
still present.
For this particular bug, we know that it *has* been fixed - grub-install
now installs \EFI\BOOT\BOOTx64.efi and \EFI\OOT\fbx64.efi in 18.04 and
later. It unfortunately has not been SRUed back to 16.04 or 14.04 yet,
and it's not clear that it will get there before those releases EOL
(there are other priorities in the bootloader space that need to be
handled first). So upgrading to 18.04 is a solution for fixing this
bug.
** Changed in: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Fix Released
