Bug#824389: grub-efi-arm-bin: the .efi file itself is missing

[Steinar H. Gunderson]

Package: grub-efi-arm-bin
Version: 2.02~beta2-22
Severity: grave
Justification: breaks entire (binary) package

Hi,

Debian ships a package “grub-efi-arm-bin” that's supposed to contain an .efi
image (and “grub-efi-arm” that wraps in some /etc/kernel hooks), and U-Boot
is set up to search for it, but all it contains are the GRUB modules -- the
actual .efi file (/efi/boot/bootarm.elf on the bootable partition) is nowhere
to be seen.

As far as I can see, there are two reasons for this; one, there's code in
debian/rules that doesn't activate EFI image building (SB_PACKAGE etc.)
unless the build happens on Ubuntu, and two, it seems grub-efi-arm was simply
forgotten in the list, only grub-efi-amd64 and grub-efi-arm64 are remembered.

I tried looking through the changelogs, but I couldn't find any recent
changes here; I'm suspecting that this simply never worked? It's the exact
same thing in jessie, at least, so I'm putting the version number at -22 to
mark that this is not a regression (although I certainly see it on
2.02~beta2-36).
