+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #2101953 +++

Description of problem:

os-probes/mounted/x86/efi contains some helpful scripts for matching EFI applications.

Can a new probe be added for 'shell.efi'? I'd leave it as an exercise to the sysadmin to ensure they've got the right sort of shell binary (IA32/IA64). But this would make it easy to add an entry for the EFI shell on systems that don't ship a builtin efi shell.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):os-prober-1.77-9.fc36.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to get '[sS]hell.efi' detected like elilo
2.
3.

Actual results:
Only elilo or microsoft are currently detected

Expected results:
detection of an efi shell

Additional info:

I'd be happy to submit a patch upstream if I could figure out where to route it....

It'd be great if you submit the patch upstream. For it, you can use Debian bug tracker and fill a report with patch for os-prober package.
