Bug description:
  [Impact]
  dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-*-signed do nothing, as debconf is weird and sourcing the script inside grub-multi-install is not enough.

  This means the questions about which ESP(s) to use might not get
  asked.

  [Test plan]
  Run dpkg-reconfigure grub-efi-amd64-signed, ensure it shows debconf prompts.

  same for grub-efi-arm64-signed

  [Where problems could occur]
  I'm not sure where problems could occur from adding a single line to the top of postinst that sources debconf when all other packages have it too, hmm.

  But of course debconf is always a bit weird. Maybe questions get asked
  twice, I don't know.
