Hello.
I'm using live-build 1:20210407 and on Friday the build worked fine
but today during the build it errored. Note: This may be a shim-signed
issue and not a live-build issue!

I went into the chroot and when manually installing shim-signed it
still fails. I bind mounted /sys and /dev and the failures still
happen in that it "cat: /sys/firmware/efi/fw_platform_size: No such
file or directory".

Yesterday there was an update to shim-signed in Debian sid and my
suspicion is that it is the cause for the error as nothing else has
really changed in this build environment. I'm just not sure if this
should be reported as a live-build issue or a shim-signed issue?
Perhaps it's a user issue and I'm missing something to expose the UEFI
firmware bitness via sysfs? Any assistance you can provide would be
appreciated!
