Public bug reported:
The update of grub2 for CVE-2020-10713 et al introduced a change to the
ABI of the grub core. This was intentional, but had consequences that
were not obvious to those involved in the update who were aware of the
ABI change.
I propose that we store a record of the core ABI in the package, similar
to what is done with dpkg-gensymbols, and fail the build when the ABI
doesn't match, with an error message explaining to the builder the
potential knock-on effects of a changed ABI.
** Affects: grub2 (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
