Ubuntu 18.04: apt hangs during build of FWTS driver, Secure Boot enabled

[Alex Hung]

This may be related to efi_runtime driver in fwts, ex. reported as
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwts/+bug/1769059

I built a possible (but reverted later reverted) package in comment #7, and
it works with Secure Boot enabled. Will you be able to try it while we are
investigating another possible solution?

Cheers,
Alex Hung
