Public bug reported:
Ubuntu will insert information into the EFI firmware so that the user
can make an informed decision from which disk to boot. However, that
information can be insufficient a shown by the output from efibootmgr
below.

Clearly, a specification of just "ubuntu" is not sufficient to make an
informed decision.
I propose that the description be formatted, for example, as follows.
<hostname> on <os name> on <device address>
