Bug#922251: live-build: support syslinux-efi as (additional) bootloader

I'm a bit confused by your message. When you say "This", are you
referring to the syslinux isohybrid page?

Again, I'm confused. If syslinux-efi is known not to boot from
CD/DVD/BD, then why do they document how to include it into an isohybrid
image? Or does it then only work when booting the isohybrid image from a
HDD, rather than CD?
