There was this issue where grub wouldn't secure boot and display
"prohibited by secure boot policy" because unicode.pf2 was not signed. To
get around this some people used grub-mkstandalone (instead of
grub-install) and signed unicode.pf2. I am using Arch and recently the arch
grub package maintainer recently created an updated grub
package, 2:2.12.r226.g56ccc5ed-1, mentioning that a lot of grub defects
were fixed.

To use unicode.pf2 with secure boot do I still have to build the grub
bootloader with grub-mkstandalone or can I use grub-install with the
--pubkey cmd line option?

Thank you in advance.
