[Bug 1574446] [NEW] installation to coexist with 12.04 failed - grub-efi-amd64-signed pkg did not install

[james]

Public bug reported:

"grub-efi-amd64-signed package failed to install into /target/. Without
the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot."

followed by 'installer crashed'

Installing next to a 12.04 installation that had individual partitions
for /home, /var, /usr, /bin, etc. Resized to put 16.04 all on one
partition. That may have something to do with the failure.
