[Bug 1250611] [NEW] shim-signed update unrecognized option

[Terabyte]

Public bug reported:

I am having a macbook with ubuntu 12.04. Just did sudo-apt-get update;
sudo apt-get upgrade; This installs an updated version of the package
shim-signed.

However, upon updating shim-signed, grub complains that it cannot
recognize the option `--target=x86_64-efi'. Seems very related to a
recent update on shim-signed that has been pushed recently,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1242417.

Below the resulting error message:

sudo apt-get update;
