Do I understand correctly that this ought to be empty in the case of
grub2, since it does all its signature checking via shim?  If so, done:

I don't know of any blockers from the grub2 side.  Once the archive has
the "packages" key changes, I can prepare an upload - I was planning to
make one this week anyway.
