I'm not sure I like it this way. The old way matches what the Linux kernel
does so it's familiar. And the mix of guids and 'names' is rather
cluttered because they are not grouped separately.
Maybe keep the old version and add something like the by-name etc. symlinks
used in udev:

<guid-for-foo>-bar
<something>
  EFI
    [...]
  foo
    bar -> ../../<guid-for-foo>-bar
