Bug Description

If you install ubuntu-snappy onto a desktop system kernel packages fail to upgrade:

Generating grub configuration file ...
Warning: Setting GRUB_TIMEOUT to a non-zero value when GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is set is no longer supported.
ERROR: cannot determine partition label for rootfs /dev/sda1
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1
dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-4.4.0-1-generic (--remove):
 subprocess installed post-removal script returned error exit status 1

This appears to be due to the file /etc/grub.d/09_snappy

I think this might have been from an older version - the package probably needs to explicitly remove this file from /etc as it will remain after uninstall.
