Package: shim-signed
Version: 1.39+15.7-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
The shim-signed package should not depend on grub2, since you don't need 
to be using grub2 to use shim. you can simply rename the efi application 
to 'grubx64.efi' and shim will load it. Why do I need grub2 on the system 
if I use systemd-boot, refind or even UKI? i think the grub2 dependency 
should be replaced with systemd-boot || refind || systemd-boot-efi reccomendation
