Summary
The last part of the Ubuntu Express Installer is the installation of the Bootloader. The ubuntu-installer has already a substantial volume of code to handle boot loader installation (including a number of sanity checks) which we should reuse. This is currently part of udeb maintainer scripts.
Rationale
Use cases
1. Install bootloader into MBR 2. Install bootloader into partition

It needs to produce an ubuntu-express-yaboot deb. os-prober needs to produce an ubuntu-express-os-prober deb. parted needs to be modified to produce output in the style of /usr/lib/partconf/find-partitions --flag, for yaboot-installer.
