Bug Description

I'd like to request that Ubuntu start producing an arm64 signed GRUB binary, like we currently do for x86. While the securemode EFI story isn't completely fleshed out for ARM systems yet - we don't know what keys will be shipped by OEMS for example, an Ubuntu-signed GRUB binary would almost certainly be part of our side of the solution.

I've made comments on the MP for grub2-signed, but it looks good to me.

As for grub2, do you want to send these exact changes to Debian directly? We can then sync the grub2 package and upload grub2-signed with your changes to let everything go through proposed together.

I think we can consider the grub2 part of this Fix Released now that the relevant commits are in the archive, that leaves "just" the part of grub2-signed.
