I have verified that the proposed package in cosmic works as expected. I performed the following steps with MAAS.

0) Provide kernel and initrd on an HTTP server on the network.
1) Boot from the network in UEFI mode using grub's grubnet<arch>.efi binary.
2) Provided the following config:

linuxefi http://<ip of http server>/<path to kernel> <kernel command-line parameters>
initrdefi http://<ip of http server>/<path to initrd>
boot

Grub successfully loaded the kernel and initrd from the HTTP server and booted the kernel with attached initrd.
