[Bug 1876974] Re: Support multiple ESPs

IMO you should be running dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed rather
than grub-install or the grub-multi-install wrapper directly.

grub-install cannot know if there are multiple ESPs, as the ESPs are
stored in debconf.

This is not different from BIOS systems, where grub-install also does
not do the right thing.

Title:
  Support multiple ESPs

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Subiquity has the brilliant feature of supporting installing to
  multiple ESP's. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/subiquity/+bug/1817066
  for details.

  grub-install does not mirror this feature this out of the box, but
  updates the ESP on /boot/efi only by default on such an installation.
  Whenever efi potentially changes, this leaves the backup ESP without
  the update.

  Adding this support would be coherent, since an admin may logically
  assume the install mode is supported beyond the installation phase.
