Public bug reported:

[Impact]
gnu-efi 3.0.15 is required for fwupd-efi 1.4 to work correctly on firmware requiring NX memory in boot stack.

[Regression potential]
To my knowledge, fwupd-efi is the only supported component in the archive that uses gnu-efi. Some more binaries are built with gnu-efi and might regress, e.g. systemd.

[Test plan]
We can't test the NX support yet as we do not have a shim with NX support. Test that fwupd-efi 1.4 builds and systemd doesn't FTBFS.

** Affects: gnu-efi (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
