commit b176843a1cad9a03c4b84d83451a6090d0125405
Author: Pascal Hambourg <pascal@plouf.fr.eu.org>
Date:   Sun May 31 10:50:10 2026 +0200

    Always mount sysfs in the target filesystem
    
    grub-install needs sysfs not only for EFI but also when /boot is on
    partitioned RAID (e.g. /dev/md0p1), so always mount it in the target
    filesystem.
    
    Additionnally, remove obsolete comment about update-grub adding a bogus
    menu entry for UEFI firmware settings. Since GRUB 2.12, this entry is
    now dynamically enabled or disabled at boot time.
    
    Closes: #1138519
