Bug#773004: grub-pc: annoys with EFI debconf prompt

Package: grub-pc
Version: 2.02~beta2-18
Severity: minor
Since short, grub-pc annoys with a new debconf prompt.
I’ve now encountered it the third time in a few days,
so I thought I better report it, as it seems nobody
else did.
┌─────────────────────────────────────────┤ Configuring grub-pc ├─────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ │
│ Some EFI-based systems are buggy and do not handle new bootloaders correctly. If you force extra │
│ installation of GRUB to the EFI removable path, it should make sure that this system will boot Debian │
│ correctly despite such a problem. However, this may remove the ability to boot any other operating │
│ systems that also depend on this path. If so, you will need to ensure that GRUB is configured │
│ successfully to be able boot any other OS installations correctly. │
│ │
│ Force extra installation to the EFI removable path? │

│ <Yes> <No> │

└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This belongs into the grub-efi package or so, methinks,
but most certainly not in anything that would be installed
on a nōn-EFI system.
