Bug#630998: grub-common: unicode.pf2 is not copied to /boot/grub/ by grub-pc postinst on crypted systems

Also, the postinst script is the wrong place to do this.  It should be 
be done in grub-install or in update-grub, since when you're installing 
for the first time, the usual workflow is something like this:

     apt-get install grub-efi-amd64  # postinst happens here
     mkdir /boot/efi ; mount -t vfat $EFI_DEVICE /boot/efi   # mount EFI
     grub-install $BOOT_DEVICE       # /boot/grub created here
     update-grub

So if the copy happens in in the postinst, then unicode.pf2 will always 
be missing until the grub package is updated again.

Cheers,
- Dwayne
