Comment:
> Why would someone not want the full package?
Because you don’t need any bootloader to boot Linux from UEFI. However, to fully utilize SecureBoot, it’s needed to bundle Linux kernel and initramdisk into a single UEFI executable; there’s where `*.efi.stub` file from the gummiboot package is needed (and only the efi stub, not the gummiboot bootloader).
> And if we want to merge this PR, it should also include a fix to dracut-uefi to depend on the new subpackage.
Yeah, you’re right, I’m gonna added it now.
