-shim-signed (1.34) unstable; urgency=medium
-
-  Debian no longer supports UEFI Secure Boot on arm64 systems
-
-  Shim and other EFI programs have always been difficult to build on
-  arm64, compared to x86 platforms. Binutils for amd64 and i386
-  includes explicit support for creating programs in the PE/COFF
-  binary format that EFI uses, but this has never been added for
-  arm64.
-
-  In the past, shim developers added some local hacks into the shim
-  package to generate a *mostly*-compliant PE/COFF EFI binary without
-  this toolchain support, and that seemed to be sufficient for
-  use. Everything seemed to work. *However*, during the development
-  and testing phase of shim 15.3 and 15.4, we found significant
-  issues with this approach. New security features needed in shim
-  (SBAT) showed up severe problems with the lack of proper toolchain
-  support. See https://github.com/rhboot/shim/issues/366 for more
-  details. The old hacks around binutils are no longer sustainable.
-
-  Statistics tell us that very few people have attempted to use arm64
-  Secure Boot with Debian so far. In the interests of releasing needed
-  updates in a timely manner, we have decided *for the time being* to
-  disable signed shim support for Debian arm64.
-
-  We hope to re-introduce arm64 Secure Boot support as soon as
-  possible in the future.
