* bug#69515: grub-efi-bootloader doesn't make multiple boot entries with efibootmgr if multiple targets are specified

  (bootloader
   (bootloader-configuration
     (bootloader grub-efi-bootloader)
     (targets '("/boot/efi1" "/boot/efi2"))

This creates multiple boot partitions, but doesn't register all of
them with the BIOS/create multiple boot entries

It appears that the reason for the issue is that the EFI file is
identical on both targets. Could this behavior actually be considered a
bug? Consider the scenario of a multi-disk system; have you attempted to
remove one of the disks and observe the boot process to determine if the
duplicated EFI file is causing unexpected behavior?

Regards,
Oleg.

The configure makes only one boot entry, and if I remove one of the
disks, it disappears from the BIOS boot options. If I make another
boot entry manually with efibootmgr, it appears as a second boot
option.
