[Bug 2060168] [NEW] Prebuilt signed grub images should include f2fs and exfat modules

[Adam Vodopjan]

Public bug reported:

I guess this is the correct source package to send a feature request for
debian/build-efi-images script.

Here is what I ask for:

--- build-efi-images
+++ build-efi-images.new
@@ -101,7 +101,9 @@
 	echo
 	efifwsetup
 	efinet
+	exfat
 	ext2
+	f2fs
 	fat
 	font
 	gettext


Motivation: it is pretty easy to make recent ubuntu iso images loopback-boot from f2fs and exfat partitions, but it would not work with secureboot because the signed grub images from grub-efi-amd64-signed do not contain the modules.

There are already bug reports for casper to make it boot from f2fs[1]
and exfat[2]
