Hey @upils

Unfortunately, when the grub-pc is added to the extra-packages, it still gets a similar error.
===log===
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
No diversion 'local diversion of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober.dpkg-divert', none removed.

Error: Error running command "/usr/sbin/chroot work/scratch/loopback grub-install /dev/loop12 --boot-directory=/boot --efi-directory=/boot/efi --target=x86_64-efi --uefi-secure-boot --no-nvram". Error: exit status 1. Output:
grub-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.

BTW, the grub-efi-amd64 and grub-pc conflict in d/control. I think the
grub-efi-amd64 should also be supported in some non-grub-pc cases.

The attached test.yaml can be used to reproduce the issue. Could you help to check it?
I have already removed all our project-related content. Tks.

Title:
  [3.0][bug] Missing a 'grub-install' settings for classic image

Status in Ubuntu Image:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  We found if the classic image, which is generated by ubuntu-image 3.0,
  uses grub-efi as its boot assets, the classic environment can't update
  its shim.efi and grub.efi files correctly by "sudo apt upgrade".

  Because its grub Debian package manifest settings are not correct.
  Please reference the description from livecd-rootfs: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/livecd-rootfs/tree/live-build/buildd/hooks/02-disk-image-uefi.binary?h=applied/ubuntu/jammy-devel#n101

  Could ubuntu-image 3.0 support to setup correct grub Debian package
  manifest?

  [Reproduce steps]
  1. Build an amd64 classic image that uses grub-efi boot assets
  2. Bootup image and make sure there is a newer shim-signed and grub-efi-amd64-signed
  3. "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" to update newer shim-signed and grub-efi-amd64-signed
  4. Check the checksum result for /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi and grubx64.efi
  5. The checksum result still the old version, not newer version
