341890de86made "bootctl install" create ESP\MID, in preparation ofcf73f65089that followed it and created 00-entry-directory.install to make ESP\MID\KVER if ESP\MID existed ‒ this meant that "bootctl install" followed by "kernel-install $(uname -r) /boot/vml*$(uname -r) /boot/ini*$(uname -r)" actually installed the kernel correctly. Later,31e57550b5reverted the first commit, meaning, that now running those two commands first installs sd-boot, but then does nothing. Everything appears to work right, nothing errors out, but no changes are actually done. To the untrained eye (all of them), even running with -v appears to work: all the hooks are run, as is depmod, but, again, nothing happens. This is horrible. Nothing in either manpage suggests what to do (nor should it, really), but the user is left with a bootloader that appears fully funxional, since nothing suggests a failure in the output, but with an unbootable machine, /no way to boot it/, even if they drop to an EFI shell, since the boot bundle isn't present on the ESP, and no real recourse even if they boot into a recovery system, apart from installing like GRUB or whatever. 00- is purely instrumentation for 90-, and separating one from the other has led to downstream dissatisfaxion (indeed, the last mentioned commit cited cited exactly that as the reversion reason), while creating $ENTRY_DIR_ABS is only required for bootloaders using the BLS, and shouldn't itself toggle anything. To that end, introduce an /{e,l}/k/install.conf file that allows overriding the detected layout, and detect it as "bls" if $BOOT_ROOT/$MACHINE_ID ($ENTRY_DIR_ABS/..) exists, otherwise "other" ‒ if a user wishes to select a different bootloader, like GRUB, they (or, indeed, the postinst script) can specify layout=grub. This disables 90- and $ENTRY_DIR_ABS manipulation.
