It depends on your email client, but typically there is a reply-to-all option.
You could try installing stretch (I assume that was your goal) and then manually adding a boot entry from your system’s BIOS setup. As is the typical warning
in this sort of scenario, please make sure you have backups of your data.

Subject: Re: Bug#865417: efibootmgr: grub-install dummy failed in Stretch installation
How did I managed to drop bug tracker? Please explane
How can I install packages from stretch into jessie? or if I'll try to install stretch to parallel disk how can i get debug info besides those logs I have sent already?
I noticed you dropped the bug tracker. Please always include it as otherwise I cannot usefully track and share this bug report with others.
Since it seems like you’re actually running Jessie right now, could you install the versions of efibootmgr and libefivar from stretch to reproduce (or otherwise
provide me debug information from those versions of those packages)? I don’t have your motherboard so can’t reproduce myself.

Reportbug was run on Jessie and efibootmgr's log was from jessie as well, but files attached in previews email were from stretch installation, all logs were from the same hardware. So now its running Jessie and I could provide logs related hardware useing
Jessie.

I don't see much in the limited logs you give:
Jun 20 21:17:42 grub-installer: info: Installing grub on 'dummy'
Jun 20 21:17:43 grub-installer: info: grub-install does not support --no-floppy
Jun 20 21:17:43 grub-installer: info: Running chroot /target grub-install --force "dummy"

Jun 20 21:17:44 grub-installer: Skipping unreadable variable "Boot0001": Input/output error
Jun 20 21:17:44 grub-installer: Could not prepare Boot variable: Input/output error
Jun 20 21:17:44 grub-installer: grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: Input/output error.
Jun 20 21:17:44 grub-installer: error: Running 'grub-install --force "dummy"' failed.
Looking up BIOS versions for that motherboard, I don't see anything that looks like the information you gave. Could you give the version and release date from "sudo dmidecode -t bios"? Also, can you confirm the exact versions of efibootmgr
and libefivar you're seeing this on? I noticed that your bug report shows versions for those packages found in jessie, not stretch.

What error did grub-install give? All I see here is that you have an unreadable UEFI variable. Also, what make, model and BIOS version?
