Sorry for the delayed response.  I think this is unlikely to have been a
problem introduced by the new version of GRUB as such (unless switching
to GCC 4.9 did this, but that seems a pretty tenuous theory), and
grub-install is run automatically provided that /boot/efi/EFI/debian/
exists.  Could you please post the output of:

  dpkg -l efibootmgr
  sudo efibootmgr
  find /boot/efi -ls

Thanks,
