Not yet - 2 more steps to go. I am taking care of this in small slices of free time.

Pretty sure this problem is not in grubia64.efi. The timestamp of the one in the EFI/debian folder is not changing. Still, the broken/good state always affects both the one in the EFI/grub folder (which is updated with each build) and the one in the EFI/debian folder (which has been staying the same. This suggests whatever the problem is, it is in a file present in the root filesystem and is shared by both boot entries.

Given rescue is able to restore grub to a working condition, this isn’t much of a problem. Just take a little longer and involves a bit more work.
