Package: grub-efi-amd64-bin
Version: 2.12-5
Severity: normal

Hi,

+---

| Version: 2.12-5
| Depends: [...], grub-efi-amd64-unsigned
| Recommends: grub-efi-amd64-signed, [...]
+---

It seems rather strange to install both signed and unsigned versions
as a dependency (by default).

Does grub-efi-amd64-unsigned enable any functions not offered by
grub-efi-amd64-signed?  If not, why depend on it at all and not just
the signed version?

For example for the Linux kernel, Debian also just installs the signed
version.
