[Bug 1050590] Re: failed install of quantal beta: grub efi package failed - /usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1724, in <module> install.run()

"'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB
boot loader, the installed system will not boot." This exact error
occurs on a Lenovo B570 while attempting to install UBuntu 12.10 daily
builds, hence the special documentation for installing Ubuntu on Lenovo
B570s with instructions for overriding grub-efi with 64-bit
installations in order to boot after installation (the B570 uses MBR,
not GPT) no longer works, since grub-efi-amd64 will not even install in
the first place, for whatever reason.

This really ought to be dealt with before release. It's a major bug for
affected hardware.
