Description
We will need bootupd to support installing and updating minimal bootloaders like systemd-boot (and a potentially upcoming minimal build of GRUB2) alongside shim.
Initial support was being worked on in https://github.com/coreos/bootupd/pull/978 but we should not use bootctl directly as we also need to install and update shim alongside systemd-boot.
