Hi,

While trying to install a new trixie system, I noticed that the systemd-stub binary /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub was missing and thus I could not build a UKI. I noticed this was because systemd-boot depends on systemd-boot-efi-signed of systemd-boot-efi, the former of which is provided by systemd-boot-efi-amd64-signed, which simply does not ship this file, but only systemd-bootx64.efi.signed. As far as I can tell, the packages don't conflict one another, so it might make sense to just add systemd-boot-efi as a hard dependency and the signed version as a Recommends?

Then you would definitely have the stub installed and could install the signed version if you want to. Right now, the stub and unsigned versions are not automatically pulled in.

Best,
Cornelius
