Enable EFI support
This mostly auto-mounts /sys/firmware/efi/efivars, but also provides a
generator for auto-detecting the root and the /boot/efi partition if they
aren't in /etc/fstab.

We are layering Secure Boot on top of Debian Jessie and this change would be
helpful so "efivars" is mounted on boot.
It looks like a very low risk change.
Thanks

The 8.3 stable release is coming up, and we were discussing within the
team, whether this change would be suitable for a stable upload.
While mounting /sys/firmware/efi/efivars looks like a low-risk change,
Martin Pitt raised the concern that the efi-generator
auto-mounts/enables swap partitions on boot which haven't before.
And we had some troubles with fstab-generator and efi-generator fighting
over swap partitions, for example.
We therefor think it's too risky to pull this change, so I'm going to
close this bug report. If you only want to mount
/sys/firmware/efi/efivars in your case, you can easily do that via an
fstab entry or shipping a .mount unit (the latter can probably be
distributed more easily via a configuration management system).
Regards,
Michael
