I think I agree with you that you should expect efi images to use efi
bootloaders. The efi-raw image name is a bit misleading I would argue,
since the image type doesn't decide what bootloader is used, and using a
BIOS bootloader with an efi image seems a bit weird. The fact that it's
used as the default image type is a bit troubling though, so we could
add a new default image type that uses MBR, so that BIOS bootloaders
work with it.
WDYT Ludo?
Best,
