I think that you will most certainly need to separate installation and configuration (e.g., with a "shim-install" script or similar), because configuration depends on the environment. For instance, with removable media you will need to: 1. Drop shim.efi and MokManager.efi into [/boot/]EFI/BOOT. 2. Rename BOOTx64.EFI to grubx64.efi, and then rename shim.efi to BOOTx64.EFI.
