Title:
  installing ubiquity on efi system tries to remove grub-efi-amd64

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubiquity source package in Bionic:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]
  OEM mode on server is broken on UEFI systems.

  [test case]
  Install a UEFI system using the d-i installer in oem mode and check if the oem-config-prepare binary is present after rebooting.

  [regression potential]
  The change is replacing a transitional package in Recommends with the package the transitional package depends upon, so it is extremely hard to think of how this would cause unexpected fallout.

  [original description]
  Selecting the OEM Install option when installing 18.04.3 does not seem to allow for an OEM install. There are no indications of it being an OEM
  install on the installer screen as in previous versions, and after installation the command oem-config-prepare is not found.
