Bug Description
This issue happened before as described in bug 1641567, but it's gone for a while.
However, this Power8 node (modoc) haven't been tested for a couple months so I'm not sure when this issue came back.
Steps:
1. Deploy a Power8 system with Trusty
2. Run a dist-upgrade, which will pull-in the grub-ieee1275 package.
Result:
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
