Hi Dimitri,
thanks for the suggestion - it isn't that we deliver "x86 on arm" instead it is 
an arch-all package that - as of today - only has builds for x86. So while it 
is a slight difference we "deliver x86 everywhere as intended" and the request 
is to also deliver arm64.

On the ISO (also x86 only atm) it is already following the efi specs and there 
it is
  "::efi/boot/bootx64.efi"

Debian is slow to follow on ipxe updates even when suggesting PRs doing the 
work in the past.
Due to that there might be dependencies for the current filename for quite a 
while.
But we could switch to the format you suggested while keeping a compat link on 
the old name to the new one.

Once @xinliang had a chance to test that PPA-build I might want/need to
check if we could indeed build this for even more supported
architectures (need to check what ipxe upstream claims to support). Then
I could enable all those and follow the suggested naming pattern.
