The UEFI option in virt manager drops me to the UEFI shell.
When entering exit, it becomes clear why as the GRUB option is missing…
And so are a few other options. Out of 8 listed below, I only see 4.

I have the correct firmware added in the hcl file…

…so what am I doing wrong?
[edit]
One of the things that I was doing wrong was that my qemu plugin was really old
as my packer config file did not contain a packer block.
bastille-installer.pkr.hcl
packer {
required_plugins {
qemu = {
version = ">= 1.0.9"
source = "github.com/hashicorp/qemu"
}
}
}
And then do packer init.
