Dear Maintainer, grub-efi-arm:armel package remains almost unusable for very long time. To boot a kernel in UEFI mode, it must be compiled with CONFIG_EFI. But no Debian armel kernel (specifically linux-image-marvell or linux-image-rpi) is built with CONFIG_EFI. This leaves armel grub-efi-arm package almost useless. For example, trying to boot linux-image-marvell by grub-efi-arm:armel shows the following message: Welcome to GRUB! error: no suitable video mode found. Booting `Debian GNU/Linux' Loading Linux 5.9.0-4-marvell ... error: plain image kernel not supported - rebuild with CONFIG_(U)EFI_STUB enabled. Loading initial ramdisk ... error: you need to load the kernel first. On the other hand, grub-efi-arm:armel can boot linux-image-armmp:armhf. This feature/bug leaves grub-efi-arm:armel almost useless, so I chose "important" priority.
