I think it’s OK.

Great! Minor suggestions:

I would change this paragraph like this
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@cindex EFI, installation
@cindex UEFI, installation
@cindex ESP, EFI system partition
If you instead wish to use EFI-based GRUB, a FAT32 @dfn{EFI System Partition}
(ESP) is required. This partition should be mounted at @file{/boot/efi} and
must have the @code{esp} flag set. E.g., for @command{parted}:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
> @item @code{grub} (default: @code{grub})
> -The GRUB package to use.
> +The GRUB package to use. Currently either @code{grub} or @code{grub-efi}.
Maybe:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@cindex EFI, bootloader
@cindex UEFI, bootloader
@cindex BIOS, bootloader
The GRUB package to use. Currently either @code{grub}, for ``legacy''
x86 BIOS systems, or @code{grub-efi}, for modern systems using the
@dfn{Unified Extensible Firmware Interface} (UEFI).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In the comment could you add that this is for a UEFI/EFI system?
Thank you!
