Title:
  grub package will change the boot order for MaaS deployed system

Status in curtin package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in maas package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Similar to bug 1642298, this issue strikes back (looks like it's only
  affecting our node "lodygin - AMD Speedway Naples 2U" in the test
  pool)

  Steps:
   1. Deploy a system with Xenial
   2. Check the boot order with `efibootmgr`
   3. Upgrade grub-efi-amd64 from proposed
   4. Reboot
   5. Check the `efibootmgr` again

  Result:
   * The boot order will be overrided to boot from disk first, MaaS needs it to boot with PXE first.

  Package version:
  grub-common   2.02~beta2-36ubuntu3.17
