In this case, "debug" would just be a sub-command of the "efi"
command, with more sub-commands under efi (like bootmgr or such)
following, same as we did for example with "env" (where many
commands maintain backward compatibility, but here this was
necessary because these have been in use forever):
env print -> printenv
env save -> saveenv
env set -> setenv
etc.
Maybe a similar approach makes sense for "efi" (with or without
backward compatibility, as you like - after all, this is just a
little name space pollution ;-) :
efi:
efi debug
efi bootmgr
efi ...
Best regards,
