If you want to support all available firmwares (bios, efi32, efi64), 
you can't use the same directory for all of them together.

I am not so sure it is relevant to your question / situation, but 
since we are talking about a Debian system, one possible way to sort 
this out could be 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720589#10>

In some cases, the CONFIG and PATH directives can also help.
