* If the postinst is running in a container, skip grub-install and all its
associated questions (LP: #1060404).
* Merge UEFI secure boot tweaks from Fedora:
- Don't error on insmod on UEFI/SB, but also don't do any insmodding.
- Add sleep to the list of modules in the signed image.
* Move Ubuntu modifications to the Fedora linuxefi patch into separate
patches, to ease maintenance.
* Implement secure boot handling policy as outlined by Steve Langasek:
- Make the linux module call linuxefi when necessary, simplifying
configuration. Add the linux module to the signed image.
- If secure boot is enabled and the kernel is signed, linux will call
linuxefi to hand over to it without calling ExitBootServices.
- Otherwise, linux will fall through to previous code, call
ExitBootServices itself, and boot the kernel normally.
- Change linuxefi to return GRUB_ERR_ACCESS_DENIED rather than
GRUB_ERR_INVALID_COMMAND in the case of an invalid signature, to make
it easier to implement different handling of unsigned kernels in
future if necessary.
* Build two images for signing: one with prefix /EFI/BOOT for use on
removable media, and one with prefix /EFI/ubuntu (and with the lvm,
mdraid09, and mdraid1x modules added) for use on fixed disks. Setup
mostly borrowed from Fedora.
* Generate configuration for signed UEFI kernels if available.

* Adjust debian/watch to point to xz-compressed tarballs.
* debian/grub.d/05_debian_theme: Source grub-mkconfig_lib from
/usr/share/grub, not the /usr/lib/grub compatibility link.
* Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt). Developers, note that patches are
stored applied in bzr; you may want to 'quilt pop -a' / 'quilt push -a'
around merges.
* Remove pointless debian/grub-mount-udeb.install.hurd-i386;
grub-mount-udeb is not built on the Hurd.
* Refactor debian/grub-common.install.hurd-i386 into .in files so that it
imposes less of a maintenance burden.
* Restore grub-mkdevicemap for now. While it's kind of a mess, requiring
lots of OS-specific code to iterate over all possible devices, we use it
in a number of scripts to discover devices and reimplementing those in
terms of something else would be very complicated.
* Add grub-efi-ia64-bin and grub-efi-ia64 packages. These are currently
experimental, and grub-efi-ia64 does not automatically run grub-install.
* Build-depend on gcc-4.6-multilib on kfreebsd-i386 and hurd-i386 as well
as the other i386 architectures, since we need it to build efiemu32.o
and efiemu64.o.
* Add per-platform *-dbg packages containing files needed to use GRUB's
