Bug#931917: grub-installer: call efibootmgr (if available) to keep track of boot order/options



Control: tag -1 patch

Cyril Brulebois <kibi@debian.org> (2019-07-12):
> With stretch, we were getting efibootmgr's output in the installer's
> syslog, which could help track down issues related to the boot sequence.
> 
> With buster, due to grub2's switch to using libefi* (since both the
> 2.02+dfsg1-14 and 2.02+dfsg1-15 uploads), efibootmgr is no longer used;
> it's kept in Recommends (since 2.02+dfsg1-17) though.
> 
> It would be great to check whether efibootmgr is present and to call it
> to get its output back into the installer's syslog.
> 
> This would have been helpful for the #931910 installation report, for
> example.
> 
> 
> Once it's implemented and tested in unstable/testing, I'll consider
> backporting this for a buster point release.
