Package: syslinux-efi
Version: 3:6.04~git20190206.bf6db5b4+dfsg1-1~bpo9+2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

we are forced to switch some of our netbooting machines to UEFI
ie. from pxelinux.0 to syslinux.efi.

Apparently syslinux.efi does not take the DHCP option pxelinux.configfile 
(Option 209 as documented in 
https://wiki.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=PXELINUX)
into account but always follows the standard schema:

This is not mentioned in the "UEFI" - "Notes" section of the wiki page 
mentioned above
so I wonder if this is a known problem.

Kind regards
