Bug#908200: grub-efi-*-signed: mismatch between /EFI/vendor (used) and /EFI/debian (expected) when derivative uses unmodified Debian binary packages

Version: 2.02+dfsg1-6
Severity: important
User: devel at kali.org
Usertags: origin-kali

In Kali, UEFI users are no longer able to boot their system:

The problem seems to come down to the fact that during initial installation,
(at least) when the install picks the new *-signed packages, they get
installed to /EFI/kali but the binary installed inside is actually
expecting the configuration file in /EFI/debian/grub.cfg.
