Woow, that was fast! :-)

Good question! I guess we need to store the name of the bootloader type
in the “parameters” file, and then look it up upon switch-generation?
But maybe we also need to store a reference to the bootloader package so
that it isn’t GC’d?

No better idea, sounds like a good start.
I think the most important is to make sure that our current use case,
where people always use GRUB, doesn’t break.
Thanks,
