Version: 2.02~beta2-22+deb8u1
Severity: wishlist

Dear maintainers,

I suggest that you add the creation of a package named
grub-rescue-efi-amd64, equivalent to grub-rescue-pc.

I have attached a patch which does this. It applies to the current version
in jessie security. The resulting package grub-rescue-efi-amd64, in
contrast to grub-rescue-pc, contains neither a floppy image nor a link
from grub-rescue-usb.img to grub-rescue-cdrom.iso, because a floppy has
not enough capacity (efi.img is 2.9 MB) and booting from USB did not work.

Regards
  Christoph
