For the archives: it's grub-efi and grub-efi-amd64 (not -uefi). As Andrei pointed out, you might want to ask on debian-boot. I'd add that you might want to ask whether they could use the Ubuntu grub-installer patch that detects BIOS/UEFI and installs the appropriate grub. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
