Public bug reported:

when attempting to do-release upgrade zfs encrypted, grub-install fails
like follows:

---

Setting up grub-efi-amd64 (2.12-5ubuntu5.1) ...
Replacing config file /etc/default/grub with new version
Installing grub to /boot/efi.
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: /boot/efi doesn't look like an EFI partition
Configuring grub-efi-amd64
--------------------------

GRUB failed to install to the following devices:

/dev/vda1 (side note: correct device)

Do you want to continue anyway? If you do, your computer may not start
up properly.

---

grub-install -v --force /dev/vda1 adds the following info

---

grub-install: info: executing modprobe efivars 2>/dev/null
grub-install: info: Looking for /sys/firmware/efi ...
grub-install: info: ...found.
Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: info: cannot open `/boot/grub/device.map': No such file or 
directory.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.

---

Seen on both noble->oracular and oracular->plucky.  I have only tested
zfs encrypted installs so far but I speculate that zfs unencrypted has
the same fate.
