Title:
  grub-install.in creates all lowercase labelled UEFI boot menu entries,
  which makes it look unpolished

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I just dug through branch ~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu/trusty/grub2/trusty
  (revision 2363) and found that GRUB still creates all lowercase
  labelled UEFI boot menu entries (see attached photo).

  I think one of the following lines in util/grub-install.in is the
  culprit:

      bootloader_id="$(echo "$GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR" | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | cut
  -d' ' -f1)"

  and almost at the end of the file:

      efibootmgr $efi_quiet -c -d "$efidir_disk" -p "$efidir_part" -w \
      -L "$bootloader_id" -l "\\EFI\\$efi_distributor\\$efi_file"

  The label (-L "$bootloader_id") should probably be set by another
  variable that is set to "Ubuntu" or something more descriptive that
  looks polished and sophisticated along with the other entries (e.g.
  Windows Boot Manager).

  I know this is pure cosmetics and functionality should be above good
  looks.
