bootctl, systemd-boot, systemd-nspawn

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Installing systemd-boot inside systemd-nspawn doesn't add an efi boot entry. I may be using systemd-nspawn in a way that isn't intended though.

Describe the solution you'd like

It'd be great if there was an option to force the install of the efi boot entry when installing systemd-boot inside systemd-nspawn.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I determined a workaround that causes bootctl install to install the efi boot entry:

systemd-nspawn --bind /dev/vda --bind /dev/vda1 --bind /sys/firmware/efi -PD /mnt /bin/bash -x << 'CEOF'
d="$(mktemp -d)"
b=(/run/host /proc/1 /sys/fs/cgroup)
for m in "${b[@]}"; do mount -B "$d" "$m"; done
bootctl install
for m in "${b[@]}"; do umount "$m"; done
rmdir "$d"

I think this allows bootctl to get past if (detect_container() > 0) in is_efi_boot() in install_variables.

The systemd version you checked that didn't have the feature you are asking for
