GRUB_EFI/10-setup missing --force-extra-removable option?

[CSCI Technician]

Hi

In scripts/GRUB_EFI/10-setup the final "else" clause does not include 
the "--force-extra-removable" option for the "grub-install" command; the 
other clauses do have this option. Is this a bug or is there a reason I 
don't understand?

Lines 60-65:
-----
else
     $ROOTCMD grub-install --no-floppy --modules=part_gpt "$GROOT"
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
         echo "Grub installed on $BOOT_DEVICE = $GROOT"
     fi
fi
-----

The comment at the top of the file seems to indicate that this option 
should be present in all cases.

I ask as I have run into the error on an older Dell 7040 model that has 
the bug in the firmware where it looks for \EFI\boot\bootx64.efi instead 
of \EFI\debian\grubx64.efi. The fix is to install grub with this option 
present.

If the missing option is intentional, other than customizing this fai 
script, any suggestions on a good solution for fixing this in my config?

Cheers,
Merlin
