Today's unfortunate discovery: efibootmgr is kind of bad
@mwhudson Yeah, this is why I gave up on it however long ago it was and reimplemented the relevant bits in grub-install. Not ideal though
@cjwatson yeah I read the descriptive part of that distro patch and sighed a lot. I don't suppose you want to refactor that stuff out into a nicely reusable separate command line tool? :)
@mwhudson if I were hacking on grub again (which is not in my plans at the moment), I'd probably see if I could get corresponding functionality back into efibootmgr. It shouldn't be fundamentally impossible or anything, and if I'd done that N years ago then it'd be everywhere by now
@cjwatson i think you did this in 2019, which is only last year or something?
@mwhudson what is time? But I managed to get other people to take over Debian grub2 for me in between, I think that was last year now
