Yeah, this was what I looked at two years ago when I couldn't install the  
same update, back then. Fortunately, on Fedora, they did already ship the  
built firmware files, I just had to manually set them in the domain  
configuration.

I'm hoping to avoid doing all that stuff from that askubuntu writeup.

Looking at packages.ubuntu.com, noble ships a newer ovmf 2024.02 package,  
but the package is still missing a VARS file tagged for secboot.

Looks like I'll need to dig through Fedora's SRPM to see where it gets the  
VARS secboot file from, and compare notes with what the deb package is  
building.
