** Description changed:

- We would like to boot arm and riscv using systemd-ukify. Currently,
- there are two problems with the EFI stub in systemd-boot that is used by
- systemd-ukify to make the UKI:
+ We would like to boot arm and riscv using systemd-ukify, but the EFI
+ stub in systemd-boot that is used by systemd-ukify to make the UKI only
+ supports embedded initrd's. We would like to be able to externally
+ provide the initrd. This is important for secure boot, as this way on
+ kernel updates the initrd can be generated by update-initramfs while the
+ UKI can be signed and provided as a package.
  
- 1. It does not support adding to the UKI the amount of device trees that
- are needed for riscv and arm.
- 
- 2. It only supports embedded initrd's. We would like to be able to
- externally provide the initrd.
+ The patch was rejected upstream:
+ https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/35978
