Hello Simon,

The only affected Ubuntu specific packages are (according to the NBS tracker):
- grub-efi-{amd64,arm64}-{bin,unsigned}: these will stay depending on grub-common as explained above
- snapd: will let the snapd team know to migrate the dependency in their next upload
- grub2-themes-ubuntu-mate, plymouth-theme-kubuntu-logo (kubuntu-settings:src), ubiquity: i will upload these now

Title:
  Please remove NBS package grub-common

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  grub-common was merged into grub2-common and no longer required.

  grub2-common now has a Provides: grub-common, so the new grub2-common
  can satisfy reverse-dependencies on grub-common.

  These reverse deps cannot easily be all updated to directly refer to
  grub2-common because we would like grub-
  efi-{amd64,arm64}-{bin,unsigned} to remain binary copyable to older
  series.
