Below is a minimal recipe to reproduce this issue (or a very similar issue).
With uefi=yes in dracut.conf, no EFI is generated *and* no error is
reported to dpkg.
Installing a kernel after dracut (in a separate apt run) doesn't help.
Calling dracut by hand *does* generate an EFI.
I think the postinst/trigger is wrong somehow.
Is this intentional?
If so, why, and where is it documented?
How am I *supposed* to get a UKI on Debian 14?
