I am a bit ambivalent with this set. On one side I understand that allowing all 
staging drivers can be a security problem. On the other hand Jammy was released 
that way and retracting signing means a regression for people under secure boot.
So this needs to be considered very carefully. I stumbled over this change which 
modifies the list of modules to sign. It comes directly from Kinetic (v5.19) and 
drops drivers, claiming those are out of staging. But is this really true for 
Jammy (v5.15)?
