It's actually an upstream bug and can be reproduced when building grub-emu instead of grub-ieee1275 with "--with-platform=emu". I have already reported the issue to the corresponding upstream author [1]. Adrian > [1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2026-02/msg00077.html -- .''`.

Thus, the problem must be with the Debian package itself, either one of the patches or how the package is configured in debian/rules.
