[SRU] maas-import-pxe-files fails in an LXC container because grub-common isn't installed

[Jason Hobbs]

This is with 1.5.2 from trusty-proposed.

When running maas 1.5.2 from trusty-proposed in an LXC container, maas-import-pxe-files fails:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7619545/

The failure is in attempting to run 'grub-mkimage', which isn't installed in the container.

[Impact]
 * Cannot import pxe files without having grub-common installed, problem for lxc's where it is not default installed

[Testcase]
* Setup an lxc with permissions specified @ http://askubuntu.com/questions/376345/allow-loop-mounting-files-inside-lxc-containers;
sudo apt-get install maas; sudo maas-import-pxe-files
  - Expect failure without fix
  - Expect completion with fix

[Regression Potential[
* Minimal, extra package available on all required architectures.

Removing the maas tasks as there's no actual fix in maas needed.

[Greg Lutostanski (lutostag)]

Verified fix by running command in container, given noted testcase above; passed.
