Well, the latest update wants to replace grub with grub2 and update grub-efi.
I hesitate to execute the update, will EFI systems still boot?
Yes, it should. grub-efi does not require grub; all the EFI bits are in grub-efi. Just having grub-efi installed should be enough for an EFI system to boot.
(The intent of the recent changes is that when you update from an 'old' grub-only install, you'll get grub2 and grub-efi both installed to replace grub; this way ought to make sure that both BIOS and EFI systems have a viable bootloader package available).
OK, I did it! I had to remove grub and now have only grub-efi installed and the system still boots :-)
