+            of boot entries with the same kernel version are installed, and only one should be removed. When
+            <literal>type1</literal> or <literal>type2</literal> is specified, each plugin is invoked with
+            <varname>$KERNEL_INSTALL_BOOT_ENTRY_TYPE</varname> environment variable with the specified
+            value. When <literal>all</literal> is specified, the environment variable will not be set.
