Also, that's not true. grub-install for EFI of course always requires /boot/efi present, always has and always will* * on Ubuntu we mount to /var/lib/grub/esp if /boot/efi is not mounted (or you have multiple ESPs configured), but the script isn't in Debian yet, it's a bit hacky and duplicates lots of postinst sightly different :( -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en
