= kinetic verification =
shim-signed 1.54+15.7-0ubuntu1
In both an arm64 VM and an x86 VM, each with SecureBoot active, I did
the following:
With only a kernel installed that was signed by the old key, I installed
shim-signed from -proposed and verified that the shim alternative was
set to the "previous" version. I then installed a new kernel from
-proposed, signed by the new key, and verified that the shim alternative
remained set to the "previous" version. I think rebooted, and ran 'sudo
dpkg-reconfigure shim-signed', and verified that the alternative was now
set to the "latest" shim version. I then rebooted once more to make sure
I could boot through the new shim.
= jammy verification =
shim-signed 1.51.3+15.7-0ubuntu1
same steps as kinetic
= focal verification =
shim-signed: 1.40.9+15.7-0ubuntu1
same steps as kinetic
= bionic verification =
shim-signed 1.37~18.04.13+15.7-0ubuntu1
same steps as kinetic for amd64, which passed. However, I hit an issue
on arm64 - bug 2004437 - so I'm unable to complete verification for
that.

Bug description:
[Impact]
I couldn't figure out why the alternative wasn't being updated to the new shim after I installed a kernel installed w/ a 2022 key. Turns out its because we hardcode shim*x64* in the kernel hook:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ grep x64 /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-shim
if update-alternatives --query shimx64.efi.signed | grep "Best: /usr/lib/shim/shimx64.efi.signed.previous" -q; then
There also seems to be a number of residual x64 references in the postinst:
ubuntu at ubuntu:~$ grep x64 /var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.*
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: for efi_arch in x64 aa64; do
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.latest 100
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.previous 50
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.latest 50
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: update-alternatives --install /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed shimx64.efi.signed /usr/lib/shim/shim${efi_arch}.efi.signed.previous 100
/var/lib/dpkg/info/shim-signed.postinst: if update-alternatives --query shimx64.efi.signed | grep "Best: /usr/lib/shim/shimx64.efi.signed.previous" -q; then
[Test plan]
Install a kernel signed with 2022 key on arm64, make sure that shimaa64.efi.signed alternative points to latest
[Where problems could occur]
Added/changed code could potentially break stuff on amd64.
