Dear Maintainer,

I am running a fresh installation form the debian testing installer,
while installing systemd-boot I got the following errors:

Failed to open "/efi/EFI/BOOT/.#BOOTX64.EFIa96c171bbeb42eff" for writing: No such file or directory
Failed to open "/boot/loader/entries.srel" for writing: No such file or directory

after creating those directories the installation succeeded
