Title:
  Bug report. Ubuntu based distributions use efibootmgr not correct

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Boot issue if are installed more Ubuntu based distribution on the same
  SSD

  I have more valuable advices for developers how to repair bugs. I successfully repaired bugs. 
  For understanding please look screenshot attachments, how it is repaired.
  I successfully repaired files and folders in EFI partitions, if I have installed more Ubuntu based partitions.
  Without this repair, will boot only last installed distributions, and other distribution not possible boot. It is absolutely critical bug.

  Program os-prober on actual ubuntu based distribution not work
  correct. It not help with boot. I read a lot of guides from google
  search how to repair os-prober, but no guide helped me.

  Bug 1: all Ubuntu based distribution have “ubuntu” name folder in efi partition.
  How to repair bug: every ubuntu linux distribution must have own folder with own name for example “kubuntu”, “lubuntu”.

  Bug 2: every Ubuntu based distribution is in UEFI boot menu displayed as “Ubuntu”. Ubuntu based distributions not use program efibootmgr correct.
  How to repair bug: name – mean correct every Ubuntu based distribution in UEFI boot menu. For example “Lubuntu”, “Kubuntu”.

  Bug 3: Ubuntu Desktop work most disastrous. Ubuntu Desktop remove efi
  folders from other previous installed Ubuntu based distributions
  during installation. It is critical error.

  I repaired this bug with backup-restore method and rename folders in EFI partition.
  I repaired this bug with efibootmgr too.
