  Install of Ubuntu clears attributes on EFI System Partition

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Installed Ubuntu 18.04 beside existing OS and utility installations,
  some of which require some of the attribute bits from 48-63 on the EFI
  System partition to function properly, unfortunately the Ubuntu
  install zeroed out those bits (in this case bit 55 was needed) when it
  shouldn't be touching them at all.

  Please Fix to not modify the attributes of the EFI System partition.
  The UEFI Spec clearly states to preserve the bits.

  Thanks.
