[Bug 1892754] Re: Unable to boot in UEFI+secure boot mode

Additional test results:

- As before, the Lenovo V130 can boot when the current daily Lubuntu
Groovy iso file is used to create a persistent live drive with mkusb
(with the setting 'upefi', using 'usb-pack-efi'). This indicates that
there is a security problem with grub.

- The Dell Precision M4800 does *not* boot when the current daily
Lubuntu Groovy iso file is used to create a persistent live drive with
mkusb (with the setting 'upefi', using 'usb-pack-efi'). The internal
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS system is up to date, and I think that the new
stricter checks to fix the boothole security bug is active in this
computer.

Extra comments:

- The internal system in the Lenovo V130 has not been upgraded recently
because that computer has not been used except for this test to boot a
live system).

- I must probably upgrade the 'usb-pack-efi' of mkusb with a grub
version, that passes the new stricter checks to fix the boothole
security bug.
