** Description changed:

+ [Impact] 
+ This causes machines that MAAS / curtin will fail to install to those machines that have UEFI enabled. 
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Install maas
+ 2. register a system with UEFI enabled.
+ 3. Deploy Ubuntu. It will fail because curtin will fail to deal with UEFI.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ Minimal. This actually fixes a regression.

+ [Other Info]

  After recent upgrade to 1.7, fast installer trusty deployment with /dev/fioa as boot device does not work. This is for UEFI mode. It worked prior to upgrade. Below is output cloud-init-output.log:
