Bug#1013962: please include serial module in signed grub-efi package

[Joseph Nahmias]

Package: grub-efi-amd64-bin
Version: 2.06-3
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: joe at nahmias.net

Hello,

I was trying to debug why the grub menu was not showing up on my VMs
(emulated) serial console. I ended up dropping to the grub command-line
and running:

  grub> serial --unit=0 --speed=115200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
  error: prohibited by secure boot policy.

Please add the grub serial module to enable this important
functionality when using secure boot!

Much appreciated,
--Joe
