[Bug 2083176] Re: grub-efi install device being prompted on upgrade

[Mate Kukri]

Yeah I think that fallback already happens if no install device was
configured for grub-efi. What's likely going on is here there was one
that likely became invalid.

Either way I agree that we should fill install_devices automatically in
postinst, even on staleness, with the ESP mounted at /boot/efi, if it's
the only one we can find.

Title:
  grub-efi install device being prompted on upgrade

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  A family member just sent me this dialog that popped up when they
  installed their updates today. I'm not sure how a regular user is
  supposed to be able to handle what is presented here. Do they check
  the box? What happens if they don't?

  Heck, even I don't know what the proper action is here.

  This dialog box needs to be removed and a safe default needs to be
  applied automatically during upgrades.
