Incidentally, I notice you've changed the status of this bug from
"Important" to "Wishlist".  I'm not going to start ping-ponging it, but
the Debian bug specifications define "Important" as:

   "a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
    without rendering it completely unusable to everyone."

Now the lack of documentation for grub-efi renders it unusable to anyone
who doesn't have the specialist knowledge to cope without it.  The
subset of the population which *does* have that specialist knowledge is
apparently so small that it doesn't even include the maintainers of the
package.  By any definition, that's a problem which has "a major effect
on the usability of a package", certainly not a mere "Wishlist" item.
