Hello Andrei,
I stumbled upon this [message] of yours.

[message]: <https://bugs.debian.org/858832#35>

If I understand correctly, you are talking about the support for ESP
redundancy that I have been wanting since September 2015!

I wanted to prepare a patch to implement this support, but,
unfortunately, I haven't yet managed to find the time to do so.
My effort has not seen any progress since January 2016.
Please take a look at my [status update] (and maybe the thread that
followed).

[status update]: <https://lists.debian.org/debian-efi/2016/01/msg00016.html>

Does your half-finished patch address the exact need described in my
[status update]?
Please let me know, thanks for your time!

P.S.: Please note that I am not subscribed to grub-devel or to
debian-efi, hence please Cc me on replies. Thanks for your
understanding!
