Hi Christoph,

I'm not very familiar with UEFI, so it would be much better if someone
knowledgeable on the topic would advise me (and/or do the process for
Debian). I'm Ccing the Debian Kernel team and the Grub maintainers,
maybe they can provide their opinion on this (or redirect to someone
else).

Thanks a lot for the heads up,

Lucas
