current version is newer than the version installed in the EFI system
partition. This also includes the EFI default/fallback loader at
/EFI/Boot/boot*.efi. An gummiboot entry in the EFI boot variables is

gummiboot install installs gummiboot into the EFI system partition. A
copy of gummiboot will be stored as the EFI default/fallback loader at
/EFI/Boot/boot*.efi. An gummiboot entry in the EFI boot variables is
