Subject: bug#44353: [PATCH version-1.2.0 v2 1/3] image: Remove conflicting user-provided EFI file system.
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 09:39:47 +0100

Hey Maxim,

> When the bootloader used is grub-efi-bootloader, an ESP partition and file

Nice one. I would just clarify in the commit message that the ESP
partition is added only when the selected image type is "raw".

Otherwise, it looks fine!

Thanks,

Mathieu
