Not sure I fully understand; you're saying that after 24.04, grub2-unsigned version 2.12* will get a SRU exception and be uploaded to -updates for the stable releases? So then focal-updates, jammy-updates, etc. would all have grub2-unsigned version 2.12-*ubuntu*? > > Currently we do binary copies of grub2-unsigned and we want to > build in each pocket.
