Oops, I knew about the --efi-directory argument for grub-install, which defines the
root partition of the EFI system, but there is also another one that i was overlooking
up till now:

--bootloader-id=ID

I found it looking at the code of grub-install.c in grub2. The value of this argument has
preference over the value defined in os-release.

Cheers,

Aitor.
