Bug#926178: grub2 efi boot installs grub.cfg file that seems to be ignored (just stays at prompt)

[Norbert Lange]

I don't know how I initially got there, but I kept the old version's
.deb archived around when I first encountered the issue, and installed
them with dpkg -i afterwards.

And whether shim-signed is installed or not makes no difference, it
just affects the defaults grub is using. I always have to make sure
"--no-uefi-secure-boot" is used (which is implicitly set if
shim-signed is not installed AFAIK).
