Bug#945001: grub-efi-amd64: GRUB-EFI messes up boot variables

Package: grub-efi-amd64
Version: 2.04-4
Severity: critical
Dear Maintainer,
I have multiple disk with different operating systems each with its own
bootloader.
Updating GRUB delete all existing UEFI variables BOOTxxxx and put in
some values that do not make any sense for my system. I had a lot of
trouble to get my system running again.
As this "makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
break" I mark this error as critical.
One of the deleted entries was my second instance of Debian Buster
installed on device /dev/sda. GRUB did neither create a BOOTxxxx
variable for it nor did it add an entry to grub.conf.
I do not expect GRUB to ever touch my UEFI variables without my explicit
consent. Please, provide a dialogue.
Bug report 913916 seems to be related but I am not sure if it is
reporting the same issue.
Best regards
Heinrich Schuchardt
