It seems to work in brief tests on an rx2600 with Debian stable and
2.5.72.

Perhaps you could provide a bit more context in the introduction to
help people new to the platform?  Perhaps something like this:

cd ~/work/efibootmgr/efibootmgr-0.4.2-test1/src/man/man8/
diff -u -p /home/mbp/work/efibootmgr/efibootmgr-0.4.2-test1/src/man/man8/efibootmgr.8.docbook.orig /home/mbp/work/efibootmgr/efibootmgr-0.4.2-test1/src/man/man8/efibootmgr.8.docbook
