This is going to happen regardless.  It's not "broken", it's just caught
up in the time_t transition and binaries were temporarily removed to
unblock a critical bug fix, thinking there would be no impact from the
removal.

Title:
  ubuntu-cpc project remove armhf vm images until grub2 armhf fixes in
  place

Status in livecd-rootfs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin are not currently installable for
  armhf images. This leads  to build failures for  in the disk-image-
  uefi.binary in the ubuntu-cpc image.

  the future of UEFI booting armhf cloud images is currently in
  question, with possibilities including:

  1. removing VM images entirely for armhf (due to lack of hardware support)
  2. keeping a Bios booting VM available for armhf (need to check booting on appropriate devices, such as an older Raspberry Pi)
  3. fixing grub-efi-arm and grub-efi-arm-bin and re-enabling UEFI booting armhf cloud images.

  In the short term, removing armhf from the list of supported
  architectures results in skipping the hook.

  ### Testing

  The required change must be tested with a Launchpad built livecd-
  rootfs.

  ### NOTE ###

  This is not for SRU, only noble forward at this time.
