The package already has a good debconf-driven install process for GRUB
---requiring the user to do it manually not only discards the benefit of
that, it's a delicate and error-prone operation that most users are not
accustomed to doing (hence wrapping it in debconf).
The core of the problem is the chicken-and-egg scenario of requiring
GRUB to be installed in order to install GRUB. I just want to do e.g.
"dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64" on a newborn system, and have the
instalL_devices question come up. Right now, in order to get that, I
have to fool the postinst script by running "touch
/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi" beforehand. That's not a reasonable UI.
