That is a sensible suggestion. It keeps the ecosystem of 'efi stuff' more self-contained than involving dpkg. If it was expected to change frequently this would probably work better in practice. However it does leave the depending packages listed as 'BD-uninstallable' on the non-efi architectures, which gives the impression that one day they _should_ appear, which is not really the case here. efi-any (as an architecture group) would correctly list things as 'not-for-us' on the unsupported architecture. Not a huge practical difference, but suggests to me that efi-any as an architecture-group is a better fit.
