Bug Description
[Impact]
It is not possible to setup resilient boot in VMs using virtio-blk, as grub-multi-install does not recognize virtio-blk devices as valid ESPs
[Test plan]
Setup a VM with two virtio-blk devices, try to dpkg-reconfigure shim-signed and select ESPs on both devices.
[Where problems could occur]
TBD

We probably should fix this by using by-uuid instead of by-id; we also set UUID= for /boot/efi in the fstab. This should make it work as all ESPs should have UUIDs.
