Dear Maintainer,

Please, sign /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/systemd-bootx64.efi with Debian Secure Boot CA
(or maybe create systemd-bootx64.efi.signed) so that systemd-boot can be used with
UEFI Secure Boot and shim out of the box.

Debian provides systemd-boot but does not sign it with a Debian key.
To use systemd-boot with shim, one needs to enroll its hash with MokManager.
Although systemd-boot is not an official bootloader of Debian,
signing it would be handy to people using systemd-boot and Secure Boot with Debian.

Respectively,
Gihun Nam
