Bug#1108262: systemd-boot: Recommends on shim-signed pulls in grub-efi-amd64-bin and the whole GRUB suite

[Martin-Éric Racine]

Package: systemd-boot
Version: 257.6-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: martin-eric.racine at iki.fi

systemd-boot Recommends shim-signed, while shim-signed itself pulls in most of GRUB-EFI via Recommends, which essentially makes systemd-boot redundant.

It would be a good idea for the systemd-boot, grub2 and shim-signed maintainers to sit down and figure out a better dependency chain before Trixie is released.
