[Bug 1773224] [NEW] Installation of Lubuntu crashes near the end of the installation

[Paddy Landau]

Public bug reported:

Installing Lubuntu 18.04 64-bit. I've seen this also with 16.04, with
Ubuntu, Lubuntu and some other Ubuntu-flavours.

Message:
The 'grub-efi-amd64-signed-' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB bootloader, the installed system will not boot.

This (usually) can be manually fixed with quite a bit of expert
knowledge, but I don't know why it fails.
