The problem was that I installed rEFInd on the source system before
cloning it to the target system. In other words:

1. no rEFInd installation on the source system
2. cloned (dd) the GNU/Linux of the source machine to the target machine
2. copies the grub config from source to target
3. *then* installed rEFInd on the target system

-> everything works fine, no adjustments needed!
