There is absolutely zero distro integration with the systemd EFI boot
loader, unlike GRUB and friends. Thus we don't build/ship systemd's boot
loader so far, and bootctl can merely show you boots, but its other
commands don't work.

If that's confusing, we could also stop installing bootctl completely.

Title:
  bootctl install does not work as systemd bootloader is not
  built/shipped

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in systemd package in Debian:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  when you want to switch to systemd you need to 
  sudo bootctl install --path=/boot/efi

  but für ubuntu this fails with
  Failed to open "/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi": No such file or directory

  it seems that something is wrong with that

  full output:
  % sudo bootctl install --path=/boot/efi                                                                                                                             :(
