Description

It would be nice if there was an option in /etc/default/efibootmgr-kernel-hook to set the New EFI entry as the default boot option.

I've switched from grub to efiboot and this would match the current behavior of grub.

I could implement this and wanted to see if there is any interest in this aswell as any thoughts on the idea.
