Description kweihmann 2025-02-16 10:26:31 UTC 
syslinux class uses the following variables, but none of them are coming
with any default value

- SYSLINUX_CFG
- LABELS
- INITRD

Furthermore most of the used variables are not documented besides in-file comments

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.
