The Ubuntu build for ARM breaks when the pre-install step attempts to remove
grub components. This change gates those package removals based on whether
they are currently installed.

Since we are using bash syntax in some of the element fragments,
we should make sure we use bash for all of them, so that things don't
break on systems where /bin/sh != /bin/bash.

This package recently caused us some very large headaches when it
was updated for a security issue. It is completely unnecessary and
should be removed.
Note that we have recommended that it be removed from the cloud images
in launchpad bug #1227425.
fixes bug #1227420

Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.
