Actually, no.

Nowhere in the description is any bootloader designated primary or
secondary or first or second. On purpose.

Both are broken and confusing.

For what piece of code we have does it make sense to reference
LB_FIRST_BOOTLOADER when not also referencing LB_SECOND_BOOTLOADER?
Will that be extended to LB_THIRD_BOOTLOADER once x86 grows support
for coreboot or l-b grows support for some other platform with many
firmware variants?

If you set bootloaders like

LB_BOOTLOADERS="syslinux grub-efi"

then you can just do

for bootloader in $LB_BOOTLOADERS ; do some $bootloader foo

after you check that you have at most two bootloaders and if you have
more than one then only the latter one ends with -efi.

Thanks

Michal
