New issue by ackalker on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/13133
Description: ### System
* xuname:
Void 5.1.17_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrrmdFFFFFFFFF
* package:
efibootmgr-17_3
### Expected behavior
When removing old kernel package (using for instance `vkpurge rm`), the post-install kernel hooks should finish without any errors due to bugs.
### Actual behavior
When I removed an old kernel on my system using `vkpurge rm`, the 50-efibootmgr post-install kernel hook produced the error: `efibootmgr: option requires an argument -- 'b'`
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
- On a system with multiple kernel packages installed, use `xbps-remove` or `vkpurge rm` to remove a kernel package version which is older than the latest installed `major.minor` version.

Comment:
I think the logic in the kernel scripts for this package may need some reworking to fix this reliably. It all depends on whether we should create boot entries for all installed kernels (which might hit some limit on maximum number of boot entries in some UEFI implementations) or support only one kernel per `major.minor` series.
Perhaps create another configuration variable in `/etc/default/efibootmgr-kkernel-hook` to switch between these 2 behaviours, defaulting to the current behaviour of maintaining one menu entry per kernel `major.minor` series.

Closed issue by ackalker on void-packages repository
https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/13133
Description:
### System
* xuname:
Void 5.1.17_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrrmdFFFFFFFFF
* package:
efibootmgr-17_3
### Expected behavior
When removing old kernel package (using for instance `vkpurge rm`), the post-install kernel hooks should finish without any errors due to bugs.
### Actual behavior
When I removed an old kernel on my system using `vkpurge rm`, the 50-efibootmgr post-install kernel hook produced the error: `efibootmgr: option requires an argument -- 'b'`
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
- On a system with multiple kernel packages installed, use `xbps-remove` or `vkpurge rm` to remove a kernel package version which is in the same `major.minor` range but older than the latest installed version in that range.
