When a tries file exists, 90-uki-copy.install removes a previous UKI of the same kernel version and all it's unbooted variants. This removal is guarded behind a check for the existence of the already booted UKI, i.e. if uki.efi already exists, uki.efi and uki+*.efi will be removed. This leaves the edge case that if uki.efi does not exist, but only an unbooted, e.g. uki+3.efi, it will not be removed. This is not a problem, if the number of tries is constant between both builds, since a new uki+3.efi would overwrite the existing one, but if the number of tries is changed to, e.g. uki+5.efi, we are left with both uki+3.efi and uki+5.efi. The same is done for loader entries.
