Instead of hardcoding "bzImage", the efibootguard-boot plugin is now using a new kernel source parameters to select the kernel file. If the parameter is not set, the default value is now taken from the KERNEL_IMAGETYPE variable.

To change the filename of the kernel inside the boot partition, a destination filename can be added to kernel parameter using the ; character to separe the source filename from the destination

Usage:
part --source efibootguard-boot --sourceparams "kernel=bzImage"
part --source efibootguard-boot --sourceparams "kernel=bzImage;KERNEL"
