Description kweihmann 2025-02-16 10:25:02 UTC 
grub-efi-cfg class uses the following variables, but none of them are coming
with any default value

- GRUB_CFG
- LABELS
- INITRD

Furthermore most of the used variables are not documented besides in file comments
Comment 1 Richard Purdie 2025-02-17 12:54:56 UTC 
As per several other bugs opened of this type, we are not adding default values for the sake of it.

I do agree we should document variables where possible.
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2025-02-20 15:54:12 UTC 
It might be nice to rename the variables to be less generic.
