Bug#1024395: not fixed for me and worse it did break a PC that was unaffected by previous version

[Eric Valette]

I had the previous version 2.06-5 on a laptop, and it was not affected 
by the bug, Only my very old Desktop was.

As the bug was closed, I did install 2.06-6 on my laptop (or at least 
the composant actually upgraded) and now it also fails on my laptop with 
same error than on my desktop.

I now have apparently several grub version flavors and several shim 
version flavor:

15.4 for shim-signed:amd64 and shim-signed-common and 15.6 for 
shim-helpers-amd64-signed and shim-unsigned

And for grub, I have 2.06-6 except for the important part : 
grub-efi-amd64-signed that is still at 2.06-5.
