No, it does not.

live-build only installed bootloader which was compatible with
selected filesystem and image type which is no longer true with your
patch. In fact, if I choose grub-efi as first bootloader the efi
support is not added and compatibility of any extra bootloaders with
the filesystem chosen is not checked so the image may be completely
unbootable.

So please consider either

1) fixing your current patch so there is no primary or first
bootloader and all installed bootloaders are equal

2) don't pretend you add support for multiple bootloaders when you are
not wiling to do so and just and some option like --bolt-on-grub-efi
which installs grub-efi if image type and filesystem is compatible
with grub-efi and fails the build otherwise

BTW it has been pointed out already that -eltorito-alt-boot is just
separator that starts new boot entry so there are no special
secondary/extra bootloader options. Any bootloader can be
first/second/third/whatever.

Thanks

Michal
