[Bug 1758853] [NEW] ubiquity crashed when unable to run grub-install, which I don't want to run anyway

[Arbiel Perlacremaz]

Public bug reported:

When I install a new system, I do not want the boot process to be
modified. So I generally ask grub to be installed in a location where it
cannot be installed, to avoid my specific boot sequence to be modified.
I run grub-mkconfig to update grub menu in the way I want it to be
modified.

Please, insert an option in ubiquity to dismiss grub's installation.
