[email protected]

[email protected]
 Per
https://salsa.debian.org/grub-team/grub/-/commits/master?ref_type=3DHEADS

For Suse I found maybe
[email protected] from
https://build.opensuse.org/projects/openSUSE:Factory/packages/grub2/files/0=
001-00_header-Omit-loading-efi_uga-on-non-x86-EFI-platfo.patch?expand=3D1

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/grub/
