Yes, I've seen this patch in my local git clone and even thought to post
this I made but not sure where to post it.

Actually I looked in Arch Linux Alarm (and refactored it somewhat) when made
this patch and don't want to 'stole' it in a hope that original author
will post it.

TBH I even forgot for what reason I added this one, so not sure even if
it is still needed.

Yup. I'll have to respin the installer images soon. I'm also looking
at another shim upload, so I'm probably going to wait for that yet.

Hi Steve,
the install images (i.e.
https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/arm64/iso-cd/debian-10.10.0-arm64-netinst.iso)
are outdated too. I hit the bug after upgrading, and tried to install
it fresh - but got the same error :-).
