[Bug 1105289] Re: Factory Installation w/ secure boot needs a force flag

[Colin Watson]

The plan is instead to have grub-install always install the SB image on
UEFI systems; since it detects SBness at run-time it's still able to
load modules and such when not running under secure boot.  As such I'd
rather not change grub-installer.

Title:
  Factory Installation w/ secure boot needs a force flag

Bug description:
  At least in the Dell factory implementation, secure boot is not
  enabled in the firmware until the end of the software install process
  after validation that everything installed properly.

  This means that the current method of looking for secure boot to be
  marked enabled in grub-installer won't work since it's not yet turned
  on when the Ubuntu install runs.

  To solve this, I'd like to propose adding a new template to grub-
  installer that could be preseeded to force installing the secure boot
  binaries even if secure boot doesn't appear to be in the environment.
