Tools like simple-cdd ensures the presence of grub-efi on the generated
ISO image but don't have a simple way to to deal with architecture
specific packages.

When we tested an arm64 image generated by simple-cdd, it was lacking the
grub-efi support and thus the installer was broken.

Thus I'd like to suggest to keep grub-efi not as a transitional package
but as normal dummy package depending on the appropriate package for
each architecture.

The attached patch implements this.

Thank you for considering this!
