On my install Debian produced a $ESP/EFI/BOOT/bootx64.efi. I had read that EFI partitions were msdos and I was concerned that bootx64.efi would not be distinguished from BOOTX64.EFI. Hence I renamed it and placed it in a location specified in 40_custom. This was in part based on a post in the OpenBSD mailing list where BOOTX64.EFI was renamed.

Debian 10 is rolling out a secure boot that needs the linux boot kernel placed in /boot. I have not ventured into this as far as secure Dual booting with OpenBSD.
