Title:
  grub-pc-bin not available in ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  From live ubuntu-18.04-beta2-desktop-amd64.iso
  When running "grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck /dev/sda" get this error:

  grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/modinfo.sh doesn't exist.
  Please specify --target or --directory.

  It's solved with "apt install grub-pc-bin grub-efi-amd64-bin grub-efi-
  amd64-signed"

  That's because I'm trying to install grub to a MBR partition table in
  a UEFI computer. Please add the package by default.
