Public bug reported: Upgrading "linux-image-generic" forces removal of "grub-efi-amd64" in Ubuntu 14.10 Utopic Unicorn. However, replacement of "grub-efi-amd64" with "grub-pc" would render the system unbootable, because UEFI boot process requires "grub-efi".
Similar bug has apparently existed in earlier Ubuntu versions (e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/532903 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/800910 ), but it seems to have resurfaced.
