[Bug 1625200] Re: Permit to define bootloader_id in grub configuration

[Mate Kukri]

> The real issue is that no matter what you put in
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=whatever then grubx64.efi loads EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg
instead of loading EFI/whatever/grub.cfg .


This is necessary limitation of secure boot signed GRUBs currently

Title:
  Permit to define bootloader_id in grub configuration

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Hello,

  For a derivative we want to set GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR, unfortunately, when
  building -alternate images, shim-signed and grub-efi-amd64-signed are
  installed by default.

  I think a proper fix for #1242417 could be to set bootloader_id from a
  new variable like GRUB_EFI_DISTRIBUTOR.

  This way we could define GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='FOO' and
  GRUB_EFI_DISTRIBUTOR='ubuntu'.

  Regards.
