I think that you are right, but then we currently have a significant 
usability problem because "bootctl install" does not generate the 
configuration by itself.

Are there still any reasons at this point why systemd-boot should not be 
enabled if the package is installed?
What grub does is ask a debconf question, but is there any NEED to 
actually ask a debconf question, considering that we do not have all the 
complexity of BIOS systems anymore and bootctl can automatically figure 
where sd-boot needs to be installed?

Also: at least we need to run "bootctl update" on package updates.
