After a diversion[1], I had a look at the archdetect option, and

The original code there seems a bit tangled, and the need to check for
efivarfs in two places seemed suboptimal, so here's an attempt to
improve on it,

Hello,
I'm testing a Kali Linux mini.iso, in a BIOS virtual machine. Kali uses
the grub-installer package from Debian, no change and it's up-to-date.
The postinst still fails at this point. The error can be reproduced from
the console:
mkdir -p /target/sys/firmware/efi/efivars
mkdir:
control: tag -1 patch

Hi,
On systems where efivarfs cannot be mounted, the grub installation step fails
even though it would have otherwise worked just fine skipping the mount
efivarfs command, i.e. system installation is successful with this preseed file:
