Bug Description

Release: Quantal
Architecture: amd64

When installing linux-crashdump on an EFI system it will forcefully replace grub-efi (and grub-efi-amd64) with grub-pc. Which is unlikely the thing that one wants to happen. The package depends looks like this:

Depends: kexec-tools, makedumpfile, grub-pc (>= 1.96+20090611-1ubuntu2) | grub (>= 0.97-29ubuntu24)

So I suspect this probably needs a grub-efi or'ed into the grub dependencies.
