You can specify more than one and it then installs to each of them. It remembers the choice next time grub is updated via apt.

I've just tested this and it works as described.

However, grub-efi-amd64 wasn't installed on my freshly installed 20.04 Ubuntu system.

Installed was grub-efi-amd64-signed.

And 'dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed' didn't prompt for anything!

So, I installed grub-efi-amd64 and removed grub-efi-amd64-signed for the test.

definite improvement over the previous state.

I agree, it's an improvement. However, while searching for Ubuntu's solution to the making-ESP-somehow-redundant problem I couldn't find any documentation that points to this tooling/approach.
