Comment 18 for bug 1466150

I wrote a not-so-little wrapper for efibootmgr to pretend grub-install isn't broken:

# cd /bin
# mv efibootmgr efibootmgr.real
# ln -s efibootmgr.sh efibootmgr

efibootmgr.sh
---
#!/bin/sh

        echo "$*" >&2
        exit 1

                label="$2"
                shift 2
        fi

        devdir="$(cd "$devdir" && pwd -P)"

                label=$devname
        else
