looking a bit more into it, I *guess* systemd-efi-options is only set / 
cached during boot if you actually use sd-boot and it only shows the 
currently active boot options.
So I'm not actually sure anymore, if this is really a bug or working as 
expected. If the latter, the man page could be clarified in that regard. 
So it seems worthwile filing a bug report in any case.
